Asking a follow-up: new topic or new reply? Replied, post #64 · Start Here › How to Ask · 21 Jul 2026 · 0 likes Post #60 and I disagree about the size of the effect, not about the direction. Counterpoint on asking a follow-up, offered without confidence: the same observation is…

Follow-up: Prior authorisation: what the criteria usually require Replied, post #77 · Access › Insurance & coverage · 16 Jul 2026 · 0 likes Post #74 is right about the mechanism and I think understates the practical bit. Practical experience of Prior authorisation, offered as one case with the conditions…

Fasting versus non-fasting and which tests care Replied, post #67 · Clinical › Bloodwork · 11 Jul 2026 · 0 likes Where the fasting versus non-fasting reasoning breaks down for me is the step from the group result to the individual case. That step is almost never argued for.

I have no scientific background — can I still follow the analytics categories? Replied, post #36 · Start Here › Welcome · 9 Jul 2026 · 16 likes The Lounge is a real category rather than a dumping ground.

Washout with a one-week half-life: the arithmetic — does this still hold? Replied, post #35 · Research Methods › N-of-1 designs · 1 Jul 2026 · 1 like Adding the boring version of Washout, because the interesting version keeps getting posted and the boring one is usually right. Check the ordinary explanations, in…

Comparing prices across jurisdictions without misleading yourself Replied, post #68 · Access › Pricing · 11 Jun 2026 · 21 likes Taking post #66 at face value and following it one step further. A price well below the rest of the market is a fact rather than a finding, and it is worth noting…

A widely repeated interaction claim that turns out to be unsupported — what changed since Replied, post #61 · Practice › Interactions · 10 Jun 2026 · 0 likes On post #57 — agreed on the reasoning, with one qualification. Absence of an interaction study is not evidence of no interaction. A great many combinations discussed…

Reference intervals: how they are constructed and why one in twenty flags Replied, post #112 · Clinical › Bloodwork · 10 Jun 2026 · 0 likes Fine by me. I had wanted a stronger conclusion and there is not one available.

Coming back to: Why a preprint's supplementary material is often the best part Replied, post #60 · Evidence › Preprints · 23 May 2026 · 18 likes Post #57 is right about the mechanism and I think understates the practical bit. Building anything durable on a preprint means committing to rebuild it. That is a…

Reading a home test result without over-claiming Replied, post #51 · Analytics › Home & field testing · 22 May 2026 · 25 likes Post #48 is right about the mechanism and I think understates the practical bit. Quantitation at home is the part that does not survive scrutiny. Precision adequate to…

An appeal that succeeded, with the letter structure — the long version Replied, post #3 · Access › Insurance & coverage · 21 May 2026 · 1 like Where I part company with the opening post, and it is a narrow parting.
