Your stated nothing was being done or funded. This is patently false.



You stated "the survival rate would be more than the 20% success rate of IVF". The links I provided indicate rates are already well above that figure, so that statement was incorrect as well.

False if you take it literally, true if you read it figuratively to the effect that 'nothing sufficient' is being done. If tens of thousands of sufferers are dying for want of sufficient screening or drugs then that's quite obviously of greater urgency than mere lifestyle treatments - important though they may be in isolation.


My comment had nothing to do with existing survival rates among sufferers of colonic cancer - that's your misreading of it. Current death rates could be cut in half so, yes, a 50 per cent success rate in the threatened group would be greater than a 20 per cent success rate among the lifestyle group.

Told you the ol' noggin would go spinning.

Stare into my hat. Let yourself go limp. Ahhhhhh. Now repeat after me: km is never wrong. km is never wrong. km is never wrong...


Ok, I think our time is up now. Make an appointment for next week on your way out.

Can we work out some kind of sign so we know when you are speaking literally and when you are speaking figuratively?

How about this one for literally
and this one for figuratively

Noggin? Spinning? Ph...

Spinning's got nothing to do with it, mate - my posts are all based upon reasonable assertions of fact - which is rather inconvenient for you of course.

No we can't, actually... follow the theme for a change and you'll discover that the point survives whichever way you read it.

All I can say is two things, both from the Bard:

1) Nature needs not gorgeous what thou gorgeous wearest.
2) There is no art but nature makes that art.

Spin away.

yoyo. His handle is yoyo.
