Clearly not an excellent control group for the kind of claims she wants to make.
You’re claiming p-hacking without any proof or qualifications stating why this is so clear to you.
The control group setup is to remove people who have no need for the drug.

I meant to imply the author was in good faith and not an industry plant like other white papers in the journal have been. I actually read the paper and don’t feel the need to prove my identity to you in a forum in order to have an opinion. I think it’s obvious and most people in adjacent fields would think so. The author acknowledges it as well which I mentioned. Also said nothing about p-hacking, I definitely don’t think that.
This is an unreviewed white paper, they’re putting it out looking for feedback.
