The attacks on EBM are unsurprising. EBM is hard and not many have the capability to do the work. Professions other than medicine feel this particualrly as they do not have the infrastructure of training and history of research. All this sits beside the more fundamentalist opposition to the special claims of science as the most reliable route to uncovering nature's secrets. In the end science will win as the findings of alternative aproaches are unreliable and largely ineffectual.
