you disproved your own point when you stopped reading the trial number as a date yet this is still repeated for whatever reason. I didn't read past this bullshit.
You demonstrate the fallacy of your case when you have to use Weasel Words to try and prove it.
It is post hoc when the protocol, endpoints, comparators and SAP are completely changed AFTER the trial is virtually complete.
which is not a correct use of post hoc whereas a correct designation would be if all those "were completely changed AFTER the trial is complete". It's the difference between "not pregnant" and "very slightly pregnant".
