So, yeah, no need of placebo effect at all for explaining those testimonies (and by the way, in science, testimonies doesn't prove anything). |
Venom, how can you write such stuff without (presumably) knowing any more details than Pacificwhim included in his post.
Statements like that only serve to discredit your reliability, because they demonstrate the way you feel free to construct damning prose from essentially no evidence!
The inability of certain skeptics to handle evidence in a fair way, seems to be a feature of this whole area. If I were a skeptic I would not want you as an advocate, so perhaps it is fortunate that you are unlikely to change sides and support the cause of open mindedness
