Oh, so you're being nasty now. Ok. Because **obviously ** my confusion is about why you think it's ok to be diagnosing people from your armchair and pretending that's perfectly fine and not a completely unhinged thing to say as it shows your utter lack of tact and knowledge about the medical field. In short my "Huh??" means "Are you nuts?" Does that answer your question?
The only crazy statement I see is accusing Biden of dementia because you don't like him. And you're trying to bat on both sides. Like, to be so adamant that the disease progression is so fast-paced that it's evident within a year, and yet there have been no definitive signs is trying to have your cake and eat it too. Try again when we have a diagnosis and it's not you just spit-balling and trolling.
You're literally diagnosing him! "He doesn't have dementia" is a diagnosis! And yeah, you definitely don't have experience with aging. People change. Not all of them change fast, but that's not what you said. You said it's just a year, he must be the same. And that's just not how it works.
But I think you're an ignorant troll, you think I'm a mean troll. I don't think either of use has any hope of satisfying the other, so respond or not, it doesn't matter.
"We don't know"/"We can't know"/"There isn't enough evidence" is not a diagnosis. I'm not that clueless. lol
Nah, how it works is that there is a apparent change in behavior that can't be explained by other means that is not only uncharacteristic but also unexpected for his age and capacity that is also consistent and characteristic of the disease. You got any of those from your expert observations in that armchair?
Oh, really? Because I'm the one with the degree in medicine. How about you?
Also you:
So um, guess you are?
The one that says there's no diagnosis? lmao When you apply the null hypothesis you are negating an assertion. You've failed to prove that assertion. Try again but with more critical thought next time.
