189. Sorry about that. I should have been more clear.
I was speaking in general terms regarding the general use of certain argumental trends and approaches by those who should know better.

And yes I did read your post and yes you did use one of the argumentative techniques I refered to.

Final point, while taking within historical context one could argue that the pharmacological ( 19th century gross chemistry approach ) has, on the whole been beneficial, one could also argue that that approach is now reaching a level of diminishing returns. And the statistic of an average 100,000 deaths a year for the use of prescriptive drugs tha thane been properly prescribed and taken is a very high price to pay for diminishing returns.

But again I have no horse in this race and no love for fraudulent behavior, but indiscriminate labeling serve no-one.

Thanks for an opportunity to clarify.
