Maðurinn er ákaflega góður að orða hluti sem ég hef hugsað.
Either it is true that a medicine works or it isn’t. It cannot be false in the ordinary sense but true in some ‘alternative’ sense. If a therapy or treatment is anything more than a placebo, properly conducted doubleblind trials, statistically analysed, will eventually bring it through with flying colours. Many candidates for recognition as ‘orthodox’ medicines fail the test and are summarily dropped. The ‘alternative’ label should not (though, alas, it does) provide immunity from the same fate.
