People criticize you not because your opinion is "another possibility", but LACK OF EVIDENCE.
What you say is like "me right right right, you wrong wrong wrong, whoever doesn't believe me fool fool fool and bad bad bad." You can put anything in this formula.
To many of us, hair loss is science...
Big pictures and facts can only be provided by reliable sources, like researches and experiments.
Your personal observation? Everyone else has eyes and can observe.
Your personal opinion (without scientific proof)? Everyone else has a brain and can think.
Why do I have to trust you, not someone...
No matter what you say to me describes you the best.
You not only play with word choices, but also concepts. Here is an example:
"...but not to completely miniaturize to the point of baldness..."
What is "the point of baldness"? 0% density, 20% or 40%? Losing 50% of density is very significant...
I don't know if you are on purpose or not. You keep "misunderstanding" my words (in different ways: once I clarify you "misunderstand" it in a new way), so beating the straw man.
I DID NOT MISUNDERSTAND WHAT YOU SAID.
YOU CLAIMED "So basically you (=NeverBaldEver, or maybe also include) think...
You are no better, or even worse than pegasus2. pegasus2 could provide academic articles to support his points, thought there are also papers contradicting his opinions. What you are doing is to expand your anecdote to several paragraphs of trash talk. I don't think I need that.
This is a direct response to your "So basically you think that my claim is that ageing causes baldness...."
My points is you are the first person who should read what you and others write again.
I am really interested in that research. That could solve my questions and this thread could be closed if you can find it.
But before I really see that, I am very skeptical.
"So basically you think that my claim is that ageing causes baldness. You will want to reread my posts..." #31 by you
I am not sure if you are playing with the word choices or what.
"They (hair follicles) still miniaturize due to aging." #2 by you
Statement from HairClone
Again, it only points...
1. Senescent alopecia has been defined as non-androgen-dependent hair thinning found in those over 60 years of age. (your quote)
2. Among people having hair loss (even for people over 60), senescent alopecia is only a very small proportion.
3. Your paper only says senescent alpoecia exists...
Looking for the source is to find out if what you quote is correct, and also if you correct remember what you read. (I am not the right person to say this since I cannot find the source of my statements. LOL)
"pseudohermaphrodite guys"
I don't think what you quote is correct...
Fina in most cases only slow down (don't even stop) hairloss, and the efficacy may drop or disappear some time. For many people (like me) they are too late to start taking the medication and don't have a decent density to keep, which makes taking the risks less worthy.
