Homeopathy: Holmes, Hogwarts, and the Prince of Wales

Gerald Weissmann, Editor-in-Chief

Do you think I don’t understand the hydrostatic paradox of
controversy? If you had a bent tube, one arm of which was the
size of a pipe-stem and the other big enough to hold the ocean,
water would stand at the same height in one as in the other.
Thus discussion equalizes fools and wise men in the same way,
and the fools know it.
(O. W. Holmes. The Autocrat of the Breakfast Table (1))

THE HYDROSTATIC PARADOX has never been so well illustrated as by
current discussions of alternative medicine and its poster child,
homeopathy.
