I'm curious to what extent this is better bang for the buck, and to what extent it is better medicine is absolute terms. For example, how does the accuracy of the vinegar test compare to more expensive conventional methods? How does the higher false positive rate combined with the less painful CO2 removal method compare in subjective comfort to conventional means? I mean the existence of tradeoffs would not end the discussion, but I'm wondering if there is in fact a tradeoff here? The article keeps almost getting to point of answering that question and then backs off and gets coy about giving you the last bits of information to determine that.
