It gave me more information than others and it cost less too. I wish the information was more detailed but something is better than nothing. I would definitely use them again over

This website fails to post tests that do not support its narrative.

Typically this website claims that no tests exist while failing to post any that do.

There is no right of reply on the website and Robert quotes selectively edited correspondence to discredit complaints about impartiality. Robert does not respond to emails which makes it extremely hard to have a meaningful conversation with him. Instead some post is eventually updated with comments. Conversations thus progress at a glacial pace spanning years. Most people have better things to do?

This site suffers from confirmation bias: This occurs when the only voice you can hear is your own or those who mirror your thoughts.

This site badly needs a comments section where users can bring back some balance to the unilateral discussion.

Robert T. Carroll is a philosopher:

Applying philosophy to non-philosophical areas does not do justice to many topics. The devil is usually in the detail... and Robert does not facilitate this kind of discussion.

If you fail to listen how can you hear anything new?

Slander, inaccurate and pushing an agenda to shield society from the truth. Absolutely disgusting, false and misleading material. Avoid at all costs

The Skeptics Dictionary (http://www.skepdic.com) is a fine site giving a rightly sceptical, science based look at a whole host of snake oil merchants, panacea peddlers, bogus 'alternative medicines', dodgy pseudo-scientists, suspect 'religions' and the weird beliefs and claims that plague people on and off the internet, generally with the aim of relieving the victim of their hard-earned cash.

Well worth a look, amusing and thought provoking, it is definitely on the side of the (scientifically unproven) angels in the fight against scumbag scammers.

You don't need to agree with all the conclusions (I personally have had good experiences with acupuncture) but it is worth considering the points (sorry for the acupuncture pun) raised.
