I do not have a twin and I’m pretty sure that you are beneath Andrew’s contempt.

<< I’ve just got to point out that bedwetting is one of the *classic* conditions where completely ineffective "therapies" may seem to work, simply because the vast majority of cases respond extremely well to "tincture of time." What is your personal experience with bedwetting, Eric?

I’ve just got to point out that bedwetting is one of the *classic* conditions where completely ineffective "therapies" may seem to work, simply because the vast majority of cases respond extremely well to "tincture of time." Unless there’s an obvious organic cause, the probability that a kid who wets now will still be wetting a year later *always* goes down substantially. We’re talking about a condition where spontaneous, permanent remission is the rule, not the exception. In fact, bedwetting is a great illustration of the principle that the plural of "anecdote" is not "data." Since it spontaneously remits at a predictable rate, there is simply *no* way to determine whether the remission of a particular case was the result of intervention or not. Since the spontaneous remission rate actually increases with age (the probability that a 16-year-old will "go dry" within a year is greater than that for a 6-year-old), the remission of long-duration bedwetting is no more convincing than the remission of short-duration bedwetting. The only way to determine the effectiveness of an intervention would be to study a *large* group of kids over several years and use statistical techniques of the sort used for survival analysis in order to see if there’s a real difference in the remission rates.
