DISQUS

A · 1 year ago

You complain that the Athens article only quotes one medical professional, yet you do the same thing. Your blog is even more misinforming than the newspaper because the only words you quote from your steroid expert are "completely inconceivable." Ever heard the saying "what's good for the goose is good for the gander"? That means that I can disbelieve anything you say by using the same arguments you made against the Athens paper. And I don't even care about the drug!

You can certainly believe anything you wish. You can believe that pigs fly no matter how many 'experts' I quote that say otherwise. All I ask is that readers apply their critical thinking skills when evaluating quotes by experts.

A quote by one expert is not always equivalent to one quote by another expert. Nor does the popularity of a belief does not make it correct. I commend you for you unwillingness to accept anything at face value - whether it is my statements or anyone else's statements.
