Wow, that graph is SOLID work! Well done. Can’t help but think that they should have left their dive order the same as it was in prelims, but one never knows.

BTW, check your email!

G John Mullen… I know your post is from a few months ago, but I can’t let your comment slide:

‘a lot of things that work are not backed by science and won’t EVER be backed by hard science. For instance, if a certain product works for 50% of people and doesn’t work for 50%, then evidence would show it does not work since the majority of people did not receive benefit’

This reflects a basic & common misconception about how research works. If a treatment is effective for 50% of the people who use it, it most likely is and would be proven effective.

A treatment study uses TWO groups. One that gets the treatment and one that doesn’t (the control group). A difference between the two groups (whether in symptom relief, side effetcs, whatever) is what shows the effectiveness of the treatment- regardless of the number or percentage who gain the benefit.

If only half get a benefit, then likely more study would be done to figure out WHY that half and not the other so that treatment guidelines can be established (ie treatment A is recommended to treat high blood pressure, but only for people who do not also have diabetes).

I’ve been doing a blog about my first open water 10k race. The furthest I’ve gone prior to this is 2.4 miles in an Ironman. People new to the sport of open-water swimming might find some useful info here: http://www.bradmcgee.com/SwimMiami/ I’m happy to link up. BTW, I found your blog while searching for info about the FINA barcode on my new swimwear.
