Is any of this even solvable to the general mainstream public? They need to think in absolutes, as in, this medicine does x to fix, prevent, or repair y. That is how the general public measure things. In reality, an anti depressant for example, probably works out to something like: it works about 50% of the time, with a bit of a lean over 50%, but if we calculate in spontaneous remission, placebo effect, and some other variable, now it looks like it is either a net zero effect, or in many cases, like AA meetings, statistically detrimental. But the general public will need a binary answer. And I consider myself part of this general public, I just know there is more than meets the eye on anything, and in general I feel correlation and causation more often then not don't agree.
