@RuthLevine5 What I find problematic is the creation of 'caricature' versions of a method in order to then ridicule it. Most methods can be implemented and used poorly or thoughtfully. RCTs are definitely no exception. I discussed this in a commentary: ht

"The right diagnosis is necessary to achieve impacts in development interventions. Nevertheless, scant attention is paid to this in practical impact evaluation work and so wrong conclusions are often drawn." Interesting reflections from @gaarder_marie http

Why RCTs are easily the target of attacks for the wrong reasons and not sufficiently cautioned against for the right ones: Read my commentary in the European Journal of Development Research: https://t.co/VGL6k3NVoC @3ieNews
