Yeah, what is a randomized controlled trial when we have your 'gut feel' to rely on. Great showing from the physicians in the comments here, now I can clearly see why we should have trust in your evidence-based practice.

I do clinical statistics. I make such studies. Sorry the sausage is not the way you dreamt it!

X says "I would like RCTs on this subject", and you reply that most RCTs are worthless. Great, what do you want, a cookie? Presumably they want good RCTs, not low-quality ones.

Yeah, I'd like a cookie. I'd also like medicine to become real science. Unfortunately, you can't say by reading the paper, whether the paper corresponds to what's truly been done. In my experience, it often doesn't. What's your personal experience you wish to enlighten us with?
