Dr. RW with a FAQ on woo

Well said. A sample question:

Many of mainstream medicine’s conventional treatments are not evidence based. Aren’t they a form of woo?

No. Although some conventional methods fail to measure up to best evidence they are at least based on known anatomy and physiology. They have some plausibility in the observable biophysical model in contrast to the “vital forces”, nebulous “energy fields” and “non-local powers of the mind” which are characteristic of woo.
