one of you wrote, a few days ago, that the lack of evidence for the effect
of an intervention is not equal to evidence that the intervention has no
effect
isn't this kind of argument a little bit fallacious?
wouldn't some patients, health-professionals, or tax-payers, find it hard to
swallow that interventions with no proven benefits (but with proven costs or
side effects) are recommended by our profession?
