I agree (and to my surprise similar technology has also metastasized to baseball!) This philosophy should instead be applied to enhance critical appraisal so that journals and editorials become more selective to high quality studies.

So, like purified water still has coliforms, the touted disease free periods in oncology are misnomers? Birds Eye view vs satellite imagery. Mammograms with CAD vs without. Our technology advances and resets the ranges, remember never use the word “ normal “, making it more challenging to interpret and categorize whats happening because we all want black and white only, greys need not apply.
