    If there’s nothing wrong with it, then why did you get mad at them for cherry picking it? If you actually brought quality evidence, it should be impossible to cherry pick. The simple fact that you even leveled the accusation is in itself an admission that you brought poor quality evidence.

    Also, how are you almost immediately pulling upvotes in a three month old thread? I know I’m responding late, but I saw the notification pretty quick and just didn’t have time to respond at the moment, and you already had it. That kinda looks like vote manipulation with extra accounts.

      Cherry picking means taking things out of context to misrepresent the state of the facts. I gave a broad overview of many different studies, large and small, which all show the same thing. Let mew know what part of that you’re struggling to understand here.

      Also, it’s hilarious that you think I’m secretly upvoting myself here or something like I give a shit about picking up votes on some old thread.

        The context that you provided was

        there are plenty of peer reviewed studies showing that acupuncture is effective, here are just a few examples:

        Then someone actually checks your evidence and finds they’re admitting to using low quality studies/evidence. That’s entirely in context. You just don’t like being called out for it.
