Do you recognize that these sorts of initiatives can have long term affects that are not accurately understood in a small sample sized study over a short period of time?

[–] Black616Angel@feddit.de 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes. But what we do now does absolutely not work so I would give stuff that was tested and works in a small sample size a shot.

It was disproven

You said it was disproven, how can something be disproved if you only tested it during a really short time period? Maybe you meant to say "evidence suggests" but that's much different than something being disproven

Again, you are correct, but you already said that and it changes nothing about what I said in the second comment.

What is your point?

[–] cricket98@lemmy.world -3 points 1 year ago

My point is that you said the argument has been disproven when I believe it has yet to be fully understood.
