It’s is what it is, uncontrolled “biased” data. In the real world clinical setting we tend not to care, in the big picture of “is this treatment effective” we should. Too many confounders in anecdotes including therapist nonequipoise

Education, learning, knowing v aware Need to know Nice to know Where to find it Old ostrich shouts at learning and understanding a thread 🧵
OK I’m going to be that “dink” on twitter that says “yep great memorisation & recall” BUT this is the problem with how we perceive and measure learning and knowledge. This is no better than learning the names & capitals of the US states. I have measured nothing other than recall
