Scientific Evidence Shouldn't Dictate Your Opinion

Thank you. Glad you liked it. Indeed the sample sizes are ridiculous. ..not to mention they don't have any replication follow ups.

You can calculate the expected reliability of a sample. 20 is indeed rarely accurate enough.

The whole "each human posses an entirely different physiology" is so blatantly false, there's more similar than different about humans. There's a reason we mostly use mice for experiments - they're surprisingly similar to us.

That's not the same as saying "if it works for 99% it will work for 100%" - because that is, also, obviously, blatantly false. There's always someone with an original mutation, or with such a physiological difference that something specific does not work for them.

You're abusing language, and having a fantastic circlejerk about it. It's sad.

not really. if anything pharmacology has taught us that we are vastly different..much like our unique DNA. this is why in the future drugs will be build for each's DNA rather than generic ones. This is also why medicine doesn't work or works differently on different people (allergies, reactions. etc)
