If you make a bold claim (like the best way to tie laces or how to cure a disease), you best bring some evidence. I did a silly experiment on my feet over the last 6 years to see if I could prove whether one method of tying laces is superior, and am using this opportunity to ram some clinical trial explanation down your collective throats.
My main objective with If It Ducks Like A Quack is to make people more sceptical of medical claims. If you hear someone hail a miracle cure, ask for the evidence. If someone then presents evidence, analyse how good it is - is it a bunch of anecdotes? Is it a single-arm uncontrolled study of 8 people? Or is a blinded randomised trial? "Citing sources" has lost all meaning when the quality of published research has become so weak.
Stop pausing the damn video trying to work out the two techniques and go watch Terry Moore's video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zAFcV7zuUDA
