Something about this just reminds me of when I did a literature review in my anatomy class to address the question: "Is running bad for your knees?"

I had to decide which of two sets of peer-reviewed publications that contradict each other was least guilty using the data to support the conclusion rather than letting the data speak for itself and making an honest conclusion.

Compared to PhDs, MDs hate designing an experiment and would rather just extrapolate a different conclusion from the same longitudinal study by cherry-picking a different set of variables. The only articles I bother reading from the NEJM anymore are case studies because they're the only publications that consist of mostly-original information.

Most of my running friends had painful knees until I told them to stop heel striking so bad and over stride, they had minor calf pain for two weeks and never complained again.

I have no data but I think most people simply don't know how to run, urbanites will spend $600 on carbon shoes and run like absolute clowns wondering why their fancy shoes don't prevent injuries... run barefoot in a field and you'll get your natural running gait
