What is the difference of the placebo wordings? Are you not including the placebo half into the full medice and consider anythign not part of the chemical medice to not be medicine?
I think the denominators of them are different. The first wording is “(medicine—placebo) / (medicine—no treatment) = 0.65”, whereas the second wording is “(placebo—no treatment) / (no treatment) = 1.35″.
I am still a bit confused. I would read the first as “(treatment-chemical)/treatment = 0.35” and I guess the overall point was. I don’t think the case of secretly injecting peope with chemical was ever referred to or is it a typical experimental setting.
