Patients were belittled by armchair speculators masquerading as scientists. Who among us believes this was helpful? A simple “I don’t know” would have been better than specious speculation.<br >The authors confuse absence of evidence with evidence of absence. They are not the same. Absence of evidence may reflect insufficient research, inadequate technology, poor methods, flawed paradigms, closed minds, or lack of clinical experience; for example, in 1980, there was no clear evidence that AIDS was viral—blood products were considered “safe.”|via=}}</ref> [https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Ellen_Goudsmit/publication/12634788_Functional_somatic_syndromes/links/00b49532e9e9d67056000000/Functional-somatic-syndromes.pdf?origin=publication_detail (Full text)] * 2013, Disease-modifying therapies for nonrelapsing multiple sclerosis: Absence of evidence does not constitute evidence of absence<ref name="Dunn2013">{{Cite journal | last = Dunn | first = J. | author-link = Jeffrey Dunn | date = 2013-10-31 | title = Disease-modifying therapies for nonrelapsing multiple sclerosis: Absence of evidence does not constitute evidence of absence | url =http://dx.doi.org/10.1212/01.cpj.0000436215.95884.89|journal=Neurology: Clinical Practice|volume=3|issue=6 | pages = 515–518|doi=10.1212/01.cpj.0000436215.95884.89|issn=2163-0402|quote=|via=}}</ref>
