You do realize there's an actual mental disorder where people fake being sick right?
The only person confused here seems to be you.
You're making an objectively FALSE statement. There is ZERO possibility that there's no person in the world faking CFS.
Thanks for the laugh. It's hilarious that you tried to accuse me of an emotional argument.
You can drop the strawman bullshit as well. I never gave a number on how many people are faking it or just being hypochondriacs.
This is what I said:
> collectively, we don't know enough about CFS or the human brain to make definitive statements like 'a large number are faking it.'
This is what it means:
We don't know enough to quantify the ratio of fakers.
'A large number are faking it' is a type of quantification: a ratio. In this case, a descriptive ratio that uses the words "large number" instead of literal numbers.
The alternative to this is burying your head in the sand and saying we should take everyone at their word. This would result in a WORSE outcome for people that actually have the issues you're so worried about because the data would be skewed.
Maybe you ought to do the thinking, instead of emotionally reacting?
