Jeff "never puts away anything, especially oven mitts" Cliff, Bringer of Nightmares 🦝🐙 🇱🇧🧯 🇨🇦 @[email protected] ·"If medical treatments, say, were
decided on the spot by practitioners with no systematic evaluations,
no controlled experimentation, no

health malpractice revealing serious
ignorance of research design."
