I confess the criticism of randomized control trials (RCTs) in the previous paper hit me the wrong way. Anyone that tries to build a case against RCTs has a pretty heavy hill to climb. There are weaknesses, of course, but it is by far the strongest method we know of at the moment for things where you can't isolate all other factors. That said, I also confess that I look forward to a time we aren't seeing writers seeming to just take pot shots at each other. I get that talking past each other is a common problem in life, it still sucks that it has seemed to dominate so much discourse recently.
