The reviewers who really messed up in my mind were those on the recovery paper.
I think that PACE is just a prominent example of a wider failure to apply critical thinking in clinical psychology. It's not the only study with methodological weaknesses, it's not the only study that makes nonsense conclusions.
These people should have asked themselves long ago whether the failure of CBT and GET to increase actometer measured activity might mean that the therapies are ineffective and that they are only measuring a temporary placebo effect with their questionnaires.
We're seeing a systemic failure here, not just a few incompetent, crazy or corrupt researchers and peer reviewers.
Systemic failure also explains why almost nobody from inside the system is complaing about this sort of stuff.
I hope Coyne manages to drag this psychobabble cult, kicking and screaming, back into reality.
