typing here, since can't reply directly this far down the thread to menace4U
Yes, I am asserting that I am right about a subject where literally tens or hundreds of thousands of MDs and MD-PhD's are incorrect.
You call that egotism. But only you are emotionally invested in the subject, I am not. See, that should be enough right there, but the only thing - demonstrating your mental error back at you - that would even remotely convince you otherwise is NOT an ad rem discussion of the facts (science), but the fact that approaching an equal number of medical professionals ARE calling BS on the first batch.
Which means you, not I, are doing the authority selectivity game.
The difference between us is, my opinion is shaped by the emergent facts, IRRESPECTIVE of whether or not a bunch of MDs take my position or not.
Here's a meme with your "logic" back at you.
