-'''Blind Belief''', is accepting certain propositions to be true, without a fully detailed look at the reasons at why the propositions would be true. Sometimes when we want something to be true badly enough, such as the [[Unicorn Farming|many advertised cures]] for [[myopia]] on the internet, we'll believe it without fully considering the evidence before us. When reading [[EndMyopia]] content, we want you to be screaming in your head, "This is probably a scam!" Because it probably is, anyway.

-How does the [[Bates method]] address the underlying biology in reversing the [[axial elongation]] of the eye, for instance? There are [[clinical studies]] that just as [[hyperopic defocus]] can increase axial length and therefore myopia, the [[myopic defocus]] used by EndMyopia can decrease axial length. The Bates method relies on eye exercises such as [[palming]], [[swinging]] and other things which don't appear to provide a known stimulus that reduces the length of the eyeball.

Divenal: Slight rewording - defocus isn't the only possible stimulus so dial back slightly . Does it seem reasonable ?
