How short?[edit]

This is the list - left-click on a logo and, if they've made a statement, the text is there. They seem to be one to three sentences - David Gerard (talk) 23:27, 25 June 2015 (UTC)

Pseudoscience[edit]

I think references to "pseudoscience" here may be misplaced. From what I can make out, this initiative is about tests which have been conducted in generally scientific conditions but either haven't been recorded properly or haven't been released for whatever well-intentioned or deceptive reason. This might fit some broad definition of pseudoscience, but it's not really in the same bag as things like homeopathy or chemtrails where we more commonly use the term.

Surely releasing information that only makes your product look good (in the same way that pseudoscience pushers only release "good" anecdotes or quote the "good" parts of studies) is pseudoscience? Herr FüzzyCätPötätö (talk/stalk) 21:49, 26 June 2015 (UTC)
I think AllTrials already have a pretty good idea of what their objectives are. You don't need to explain it to them. ΨΣΔξΣΓΩΙÐWeaselly.jpgMethinks it is a Weasel 22:37, 26 June 2015 (UTC)
Good thing we're not explaining. 32℉uzzy, 0℃atPotato (talk/stalk) 22:57, 26 June 2015 (UTC)
Reread your comment above. How is that not explaining? WěǎšěǐǒǐďWeaselly.jpgMethinks it is a Weasel 23:11, 26 June 2015 (UTC)
