Let Me Make This Brief...

I want to keep this short, and not necessarily sweet... Researchers in the neuro sciences who have had other failed studies, as covered in this article in The Guardian; are warning us that run on sentences, long winded speech, and whatever else they want to shame older people over, may be early signs of Alzheimer's Disease.

The thinking of Alzheimer's researchers fails all the time, as they have not yet created a drug that reliably helps the effects. Here again.

Worsening “mental imprecision” was the key, rather than people simply being verbose, however. “Many individuals may be long-winded, that’s not a concern,” said Sherman. So the researchers have made failed hypotheses regarding this illness over and over again, yet somehow fail to be called demented themselves. I think saddling older people with this blank check caveat, of shut up or people will think you have a disease, is one of the more counter productive theses I have ever seen, and potentially the most harmful. Elderly in institutions will be routinely ignored if this becomes mainstream, and all communications suspect. Notice how, in the article, they try to walk all over now deceased authors, without coming to definitive conclusions.
