It feels like every time I go on the internet, I get reminded I need to be very explicit about what I'm saying. (Or develop a thicker skin. :P) Apologies if I sounded dismissive, I was just trying to say that I don't know exactly how it was approved as I haven't done the research to know, but that wasn't surprised it had been, given the overarching issue with medical studies from the last century failing to be replicated. I'm not trying to imply that I'll somehow dig up the absolute truth of the situation that was previously unknown, I just know I'm making a statement with incomplete information.
No worries, dawg :)
You unintentionally sounded like a relative of mine which humorously triggered my mildy-snarky "Well, ACKSHUALLY, no. BRB gotta defer to the FDA's recent findings and publicity regarding phenylephrine".
For context, this person sometimes fancies themself an expert when they don't know anything or enough about a subject but still try to speak authoritatively as if their buy-in is essential to continue or speaking definitively on a given matter π
You're good, just try not to caveat a strong or even controversial claim someone else makes if you don't know you can dispute it right there like that. Like say that in your head, just don't say the head part out loud cuz someone will rip you a new one if they're grumpy.
But I wanted to be a little sassy and give you some cheek while still caveating that I wanted to be nice about it :)
Peace! I love you guys, no worries!
