This reply was downvoted, and I am a bit surprised:
I would expect that making a strong claim of naivete of an entire field of people dedicating their life to a problem (oncology) should be at least put in context of the commentator's expertise and evidence (see the other Metformin related comment).
I hope this is seen as a constructive comment: let's not abandon the respect for expertise.
- aiphex 7y agoI can appreciate the inquiry, but I would expect a senior biology undergrad to be able to write a comprehensive paper on a topic like this based solely on the information that's been published.
- dang 7y agoIf you post a comment like that just as a one-liner, it's much too easy to interpret it as snark or personal attack. That's destructive of good conversation on the internet. If you provide more information about your intent, as you did in your second comment, that helps to prune the response tree of defensive or aggressive replies, and we all benefit.
