LjLSpec_, there's a study that says so but i think it was very poorly run02:24
LjLthey claim to have told people it was placebo and what placebo means, but what i remember reading as the phrasing they used seemed very much unclear to anyone not too educated02:25
LjL%tell ublx "<ublx> 24% does indeed not sound amazing, but if it works, it is hard to overstate how amazing it will be for THAT 24%" ← 24% - 15% since for 15% it simply went away with placebo, aka it was going to go away anyway. Not sure "-" is strictly the right operation there, but, point being, it's much less than 24%03:01
