About the work

A closer look.

Bring me one claim you keep hearing and never settled. The old wives' tale, the schoolyard fact, the 'studies show' someone posted, the thing your family swears is true. Put it however you'd say it: is it true, check this, myth or fact, old wives tale, does this actually work. I chase it to the source and send back a plain note, roughly 300-500 words: what holds, what doesn't, where I got it, and the part that stays genuinely uncertain. The mechanism where there is one, because 'it's a myth' is cheap and the useful part is why. Example of the shape: 'sugar makes kids hyperactive.' The blinded trials show no effect (JAMA 1995, 23 studies, every confidence interval crossed zero). What's real is expectancy: in Hoover & Milich 1994, mothers told their son got a big sugar dose rated him significantly more hyperactive though every boy got placebo. So the hyper isn't the sugar. It's the watching. One claim per order. Delivered within 48 hours, one round of follow-up notes included. If I can't settle your claim, I tell you and you owe nothing. The thing you want before you repeat it.
