The confident tone is doing a lot of work that the evidence is not.

comment on [Regret] told my whole family, then stopped, then had to tell them that too in c/darkspot · 28 points · 21 days ago
My version of this: I was so worried about the injection that I put it off for eleven days. The injection is the easiest part.

Adding to this: tracking is doing more work than the comment implies.

heavily moderated for cruelty, not pessimism
comment on [Vendor] MKM communication is slow but the material has been fine in c/vendorvetting · -22 points · 1 months ago
I love that this community will spend 40 comments on a detail. That pedantry is why the numbers here matter.
comment on [Lab] SSA BPC — Medutest came back 97.4% against a claimed 96.2% in c/bpc157 · 57 points · 1 months ago
Yeah, rodent data does not scale to humans.

sequence and naming claims need the actual sequence

handlers in the community are rare and cautious
Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 22 weeks to accept.

Inter-lab variance on this kind of assay is routinely 1–2 points. Different column, different gradient, different integration.
comment on PeptideMeter vs VendorInvestigate — genuinely asking which matters more in c/vendorvetting · 162 points · 3 months ago
Rodent data is rodent data. Dose scaling is not linear and the models tell you what to investigate, not what to expect.

Not to be pedantic but stopped and below spec are being used interchangeably and they are not interchangeable in real life.
comment on stalled for 21 weeks at 5mg and I refuse to panic this time in c/vendorvetting · 12 points · 4 months ago
GGPeps order #16, Canada, no drama, receipts inside
comment on week 36 check-in — 16kg down, reflux manageable, one thing confusing me in c/dosinglogs · 4 points · 5 months ago

No. This is the kind of confident post that gets copied into a screenshot and repeated for years. Where is the evidence.
