>>12418038>just an inability to control for external variables.If it was just an inability, it could be understood, but it's often an outright refusal to do it. For example, I had an argument about a weight loss study that it MUST include a control group fed the same meals ad libitum, to which I got a ton of bullshit excuses why it cannot, no, shouldn't be done. In general, there seems to be a total and universal refusal to do studiesthat would exclude hypotheses one and for all, and instead prefer bullshit ambiguous studies that could be interpreted as anyone pleases...
