Hi all! I thought for a bit on whether or not to respond to Larry Istrail's Response to Criticism from 'Carbsanity'. There's not much of substance there to address ... but it is typical of the lack of real substance and mischaracterization that is so common amongst my detractors. So, I thought I'd address it.
Is this registry a joke? The verdict is in: Guilty! I'm sure that Istrail is serious, and many of those who are registering are serious, and that's not what the joke is. The joke is that somehow anything meaningful to the purported goal of the study will come about. Let's take a look. I'll try to be consistent and put Istrail's words in purple.
From AWLR Home Page: The Ancestral Weight Loss Registry is an international assembly of people who have tried a carbohydrate-restricted or paleo diet to lose weight or improve their health.
In response to which I wrote in my "cheeky" style: And I'm an internationally known blogger.
Response: She describes it as a "JOKE", condemning the fact that I describe it as an "international assembly"
