@ildiazm @ADAlthousePhD @Lach_cribb I agree. It is not a substitute for evaluating robustness to assumptions.

@ildiazm I am not as familiar with the history of science as you. Can you point me to the many tools for falsifiability beyond experiments? Also, I think it may be a block of salt not just a grain.

@ildiazm I have always been uncomfortable with natural direct and indirect effects and the assumptions required for identification. Can you explain how you think about these from your nature viewpoint?

Excited to share my latest paper with @amoafo_linda and Elizabeth Platz; it develops a sensitivity analysis tool for evaluating the influence of unmeasured confounding in observational studies with time-to-event outcomes
