> In my opinion the real response to a drug is that of the trial responce minus the placebo responce.

In my opinion, the real response to a drug will occur whether or not a placebo is being swallowed by the patient in the next room.

Again, they weren't trying to evaluate the efficacy of any one treatment versus placebo. Such studies have already been performed in great numbers. It's time to move on. This naturalistic study design is just another way to observe treatment outcomes and compare alogrithms.
