Ad Hominem - Circumstantial
Description:
The argument attacks a position by appealing to the vested interests of a person who holds the position.
It would be more useful to explain what about the study is poorly reasoned or suspect.
- carlmr 4y agoI disagree, if you have a vested interested you're likely to cheat, not every kind of cheating is visible in a paper. If you e.g. pump out 100 studies and then make a perfect reasoning on the 1 study which had significant results in your favor, then what you did wrong can't be seen in the one paper you published. As long as the studies aren't preregistered, you have to discount those with vested interests.
- epylar 4y agoOK, so what's wrong or potentially wrong with this study?
- horsawlarway 4y ago11 other authors with no financial ties. The conflict of interest was expressed up front. The authors appear to be very aware of the limits of the study, including noting that they see no difference in subjective sleepiness, nor do they attempt to make any claims that the result will hold over long term use. Frankly - The parent is right. This is a lazy fucking argument.
