Western medicine, however, has been slow to agree with him—partly because of his message, and in his case, often because of the messenger.

With a degree in Chinese medicine from an institute in Macao, Kaptchuk is one of the few faculty members at Harvard Medical School (HMS) with neither a Ph.D. nor M.D.—“a debit, not a credit at most medical schools,” says Finland professor of clinical pharmacology emeritus Peter Goldman, one of his early Harvard advisers. (Kaptchuk’s diploma is recognized as a doctorate in many states, but not in Massachusetts.) When Kaptchuk came to Harvard in 1995, “he knew about Chinese herbs and healing needles, and he’d written a very fine book on Chinese medicine [The Web That Has No Weaver (1983)],” says Goldman, “but he didn’t know the first thing about how to conduct clinical studies.”

Ну, проблема вовсе не в том, что мистер Kaptchuk имеет/не имеет Ph.D. Проблема в том, что эффект/феномен плацебо не по зубам стандартной научной парадигме ведения исследований. Для исследования плацебо требуется моделирующее исследование или просто моделирование. Разница между моделированием и научным исследованием в метапрактике была описана ранее. Она является принципиальной:
