But then I noticed something even FUNNIER when I glanced at the graph Ms. Starkweather provided Dr.Becker for his website:
Gasp! Why, it's DIFFERENT from BOTH the nursing conference data AND the journal article!!! Now the pain for calmare treated patients goes from about "4.8" to "3.2"!!
So NOW we have THREE different sets of data from PRESUMABLY the SAME group of patients:
nursing conference 8.4 to 1.2 Becker website 4.8 to 3.2 journal data 5.4 to 3.2
Gosh! Calmare data is like a box of chocolates! You just NEVER know what you're goin' to get!!!
Even FUNNIER, I had written Becker a month or two ago and asked him what he thought about the difference between the conference data and the data supplied him. He wrote back that he couldn't understand it, but said he would contact Ms. Starkweather for an explanation. It was maybe only a month or so later that he CLOSED HIS DOORS:
Shoot! He hadn't been open but only a few months! Hmmmmmmmm...you don't reckon he found Ms. Starkweather's explanation less than satisfactory -- do you?
