I mean for AD it could perhaps be useful (of course it would not work for most other diseases) but legally that is very dicey because of informed consent. TBH we are not even sure if AD is one even one disease or if it multiple masquerading

Then your get dropout problems and by the time there is an effect you don't have the statistical power to detect it. You need 3-6 months on an AD, psychiatic, metabolic, or autoimmune drug to see a Real effect so that is how long you m

Well for the studios the art is the product. For researchers the ideas and data are the product and the writing is packaging. It's not a perfect analogy but it gets across why I personally don't get up in arms about this. Provided
