Is vigourous exercise better than moderate exercise, or is light exercise enough? Is there anything which counters the effect of exercise? Could certain ailments be made *worse* by exercise, counter to intuition?
Remember, the medical world used to be convinced that bleeding patients was a good thing. The physicians saw what they thought was 2+2 = 4, but didn't realise it was actually 2+(ab*cd)+2-x^2 = 4. |
Ok. I was not clear about that last statement. I agree... I got lazy again... I need to sleep. I'll type up what I mean later.
But I'm curious, when I don't get any comments does that mean that everything seems coherent and believable, or is it that it all seems soooo wrong that there's no bother with arguing with it, or is it that its too painful to read through, or a combination of all of those?
