Ah, but was that after a century _of trying_?

So, while I agree it would be a stretch, a partisan of the
MacDougall experiment could point out that the atheistic
scientism conspiracy has discouraged others from attempting to
repeat his experiment.

The real reason was much simpler than that. MacDougall was
disinvited from the hospital where he was doing the experiments
and he could find no hospital that would allow him to continue.
The same mindset is still very much in play: it's ghoulish,
it's irreverent, it's inhumane, etc.

Yes, yes, it's all a giant conspiracy.

Today, it is indeed inhumane because when many patients are near
death doctors perform intervention techniques which would
interfere with a balance.

And speaking of conspiracy theories, I was just reading about
scientific reserch that indicates that people do not believe in
conspiracy theories because they seem likely to be true, but rather
because it makes them feel special. And the more ridiculous the
theory, the more special they feel, as part of a small elite who
knows the truth.

In your case, of course, it's the "short bus to school" sort of
special.
