That's a pretty weak defense. A stronger one is that many patients really do say they feel better after TT treatment. Emily's experiment shows that TT does not work the way its advocates claim. But what nobody has done--neither Emily nor the die-hard skeptics who were so quick to champion her findings--is try to understand why TT does anything at all. Maybe it's just a placebo effect. Maybe the simple fact that someone is hovering over you, paying attention to you, has therapeutic value. But, if so, that's not such a bad thing...
...peace was the Soviet Union. Perhaps Roosevelt, as some argue, should have conditioned aid to Russia during the war on pledges of postwar good behavior. But the fate of the second front in the west depended on the Red Army's holding down Nazi divisions in the east, and neither Roosevelt nor Churchill wanted to delay Stalin's military offensives--or to drive him to make a separate peace with Hitler...

There is, first, "Outstanding Popes," followed by "Good or Above Average Popes." John Paul II makes neither of these categories. Father McBrien rates him as less than great because he did not flesh out Vatican II. But he rates him as "Historically Important," as Gorbachev would confirm...
