Ahh, yes. Now it's clear. Pdocs in "conference mode"! Love it. This explication I understand. People should think about it. It should somehow be part of the caveat discussion or lists or whatever.
I have seen psychologists in conference mode figuratively rip to shreds a grad student who gave a presentation challenging some basic ideas in a certain sub-field. It was fun to watch, since I didn't like the guy. (Yes, I had an evil streak once.)
> I have no idea really how it will go
Me neither. It will be interesting.
But maybe these docs, although in conference mode, will be *very* aware that we are fragile consumers. Dr Bob will be there, hovering around the groups, and he'll give an introduction in which (I hope) he reminds them not to bite. I actually think they may even be grateful we are there.
But as you say, there is only one way to find out.
> And I also think Dr Bob should obtain informed consent.
We come full circle back to this. What is the "informed consent" Bob should obtain. (That's posed rhetorically.) Alex, I know that you've said you don't really know what it would be, but we'd be putting a rather unfair burden on Dr Bob, if we were repeatedly telling him he should obtain something we can't define.....
