There's no evidence provided. What do these people think evidence-based means?

  Was the article changed? That word is nowhere on the page now.

  The article doesn’t claim it’s evidence-based - that’s just the HN headline. The latter appears to be basing that claim on the use of ACT, which is considered an empirically supported therapy.

    The author of the article is also the person who wrote the HN headline.

      That seems very dishonest then, given the glaring difference between what the headline and article claim.

  Medicine is evidence-based but they won't hand you a bunch of studies before surgery. Providing evidence helps but isn't a necessity to call something evidence-based.

    > Medicine is evidence-based but they won't hand you a bunch of studies before surgery. Well, they surely should be able to if you ask for it. And ideally, that information should be easily available to you anyway.
