But if all I get is “hmmm it might be like this or it might be like that—here are some potential flaws in our logic” and no metrics are given… that doesn’t do any good.
Imaging going to a Trump forum and asking them for advice on how to get Trump impeached. Then the answer: “Trump shouldn’t be impeached.” Did they give you the answer that you were looking for? No, they didn’t.
The disagree on principles. Here there’s also disagreement on principles.
Let’s say you went to the homeopath. Afterwards you got cured. You go to a friend and ask him for metrics of the treatment you received.
You suggest possible things to measure:
Improvement in my well-being.
Less sick days.
Whether the homeopath felt warm and emphatic.
The cost of the treatment.
But you have a problem. Measuring sick days and cost is easy but you really want help with proper metrics for well-being and the homeopath being warm and emphatic.
That’s roughly the quality of your original post and you don’t want to hear that n=1 evidence is not enough to do a good judgment.
