I wasn't trying to be a dick to you, and you really shouldn't take it super personally. If you HAVE taken it personally, then perhaps my language was too severe (which it can be) and I'll try to be gentler.
My point is that almost everything in ADD is based on articles and reviews. We post studies - solid, peer-reviewed stuff - to back up our points if we're not asking a question. Then those studies get investigated and we post replies with other studies. In that way, we can bounce a tennis ball back and forth until we can close in on some sort of theory as to what's really going on and what the studies point to. Part of that process is inevitably going to be evaluating studies and links for legitimate conclusions and sound methodology. We'll be evaluating them for confounding variables, what journal they were published in ('cause not all journals are created equal - some are WAY less picky about their review process), and whether they're *repeatable*. As in, are other people able to follow the methods to the T and get the same results.
I don't mean to say GTFO; rather that you kinda have to expect critique here. As they say, if you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen.
I didnt take it personally, you make a good point. Your right i didnt know much about what i was talking about so i didnt want to get into too big of a discussion about it. Both of us could be right i just didnt have the evidence to back it up and didnt want to look for it.
