I was wondering what your thoughts are on http://slatestarcodex.com/2014/04/28/the-control-group-is-out-of-control/ http://slatestarcodex.com/2014/04/28/the-con

  Thank you for the interesting read. My first thoughts are of the Placebo itself (as it's coming up in the first part). A bit off-topic, but the placebo is often called sugar-pil but its exact content is often not revealed. It can be full of harmful stuff and this causes the examined group to look much better. "The control group experienced equal amounts of stomach aches" when the placebo was laced with stomach ache inducing stuff! About parapsychology as mentioned in your link: Personally, that stuff scears the crap out of me. I just like to think there is more between heaven and earth than we know...
