Timely article

Dr. Wenban's article struck an immediate chord of importance as I had just had a letter to a journal refused - apparently without peer review, without reason or attempt to revision - regarding an article allegedly misrepresenting the term "chiropractic manipulation". Wenban's discourse is important for the advancement of Evidence Based health care, because without accurate classification of therapeutic interventions data is made virtually useless.
