These were my thoughts too.

Ha. Way to be informed.

They are the SAME technique.

You do know that in this thread you are attacking what might be the largest and most successful thread on this forum?
A thread being large doesn't necessarily mean the content is scientifically correct even if everyone posting in it is enthusiastically agreeing with each other.

I haven't read Jeff's thread either. I remember coming across it not long after I joined DV but as soon as I came across the line

I dismissed it as rubbish. I'm really sorry, I don't mean to offend anyone but it is just huey to try to claim the body has some sort of personal agenda like that. Like S/E has asked a thousand times: which part of the body "decides" to do this testing? The appendix? The femur? The iliac artery?

It's about as ridiculous as claiming a car tests to see if it has a driver.

So yeah, I disagree with Jeff's thread as well. I don't know by what criterion you judge it to be the "most successful thread on this forum"? but jeez if it is then that's a worry.
