to not hassle them and spells out that the focus of that article was on encouraging them to live up to what they claim to represent ('informed choice').

Someday maybe. @ Antaeus Feldspar I had a good introduction to bayesian probability theory but still, I tried to mentally parse your statistics and the context does not compute but still, I can see where you're getting at regarding clinical trial. Alain Denice Walter November 16, 2012 @ Antaeus: It illustrates that they have never formally taken courses in the area in which they claim expertise. I have heard the same idiot -who also claims expertise in arts and letters- mispronounce the names of well-known artists and writers. It is, needless to say, quite hilarious. Unfortunately his fans don't know the difference. The fact that semi-literate idiots manage to find an audience seemingly hungry for information- although they're looking in the wrong places - is encouraging to me. I think that his audience is trying to learn general information in science and arts in small,palatable doses. Adults work, have family responsibilities and worries and often can't take a course at a local university
