It looks like I get to be the one to comment a classic criticism of RCT absolutism.
There have been no RCTs on parachutes or bulletproof vests. Volunteers welcome.
- pmyteh 2y agoThey found some volunteers and did the study! This is one of the classics from the Christmas BMJ: https://www.bmj.com/content/363/bmj.k5094 https://www.bmj.com/content/363/bmj.k5094 The study has... let's just say "other methodological problems". But they did do an RCT of parachute use! (The open peer review correspondence is quite fun, too).
