One of the main tenets of modern clinical therapeutic trials is that the double blind method must be used. Anything else is called anecdotal, in a pejorative sense. One of the main tenets in evaluating research publications is that the methodology and the final manuscripts must be reviewed by peer committees. Although they have never been scientifically established, both these beliefs are politically correct, so correct that anyone who questions these beliefs immediately runs into massive opposition from the defenders of the faith.
