I have read through this entire thread now, and as far as I can tell, the exchange is more accurately characterized as follows: For every person that says "I have a friend of a friend who tried this scientifically unproven health treatment and reported feeling better", there is an equal number of respondents who are insisting that they shift their faith from anecdotal reports to rely on
EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE.
What I really hate in these sorts of discussions is the idiotic notion that every single person's opinion carries equal weight, and that we are even capable of "thinking for ourselves."
