More about plausibility and few previously unexplored facets thereof.

H. Pylori, Plausibility, and Greek Tragedy: the Quirky Case of Dr. John Lykoudis (http://www.sciencebasedmedicine.org/?p=4238#more-4238).

Anoop, you are developing a presence there. ;)

This is a wonderfully written piece, truly exposing both the complexity of science-based reasoning and the barren nature of the common objection voiced. I especially liked the allusion to the South Park kids.

Just an aside; that show has been on for 15 years. During that time the kids have progressed from the third grade to the fourth. As the writers say, "They're not doing very well."

I haven't missed an episode in years. If you can get past some of the truly nasty stuff (which I find hilarious naturally) South Park is one of the best satirical cartoons out there.
