The opening line really tells you what standpoint this committee is taking... I'd be interested in reading something a bit more objective...

Cheers,

I would think it's quite objective. "effectiveness" can mean effective or non effective =)

Hello Bob,

Thank you for this post. It sounds pretty interesting. Even though I would rather check out the research. What is the name of the author,a nd the article title?

Why not make this a standard for all the posts here about scientifi literature? (in our study the teachers are crazy about it - and in this case it makes some sense, because also 169 RCT's can be reviewed in very different ways...)

Cheers!
Kai
