Wesseley? White? Chalder? Need I go on?
My point was specifically that Wessely et al. would not, in 2015, risk saying publicly something as glib and denigrating as:
"Absent hard biological evidence, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome might lots of people as "Sick" who are in monotonous jobs, bad marriages, or plain bored with life."
or
"I can see the profits rising !!!!! Nebulous disease , nebulous exam and no definitive test , prospective patients for life !!!!! Whatever happened to SSRI's ?"
or
"great, disability here I come! glad I got that plan a long time ago."
or
"Everyone has these feelings during their lives...some for a couple months, some for six months, some for much longer, some just handle them better than others."
or
"what a huge pile of crap......bring on the clowns".
