So am I, and thank you for introducing a voice of reason. These are the things I've been trying to say for a dozen pages now, but didn't have the data-- I could only point to the absence of properly controlled evidence the other way. You will no doubt soon be as frustrated as I was, for every time you either ask for evidence of their claim, or present evidence to support your own, you will be accused of having a "hidden agenda". As if asking for, or in your case
providing, evidence was anything but just that! Again, thanks for upping the level, I wish I had seen your post way back, it could have saved some time.
