Sometimes how one frames the question shapes the answer. This is not intellectually honest IMHO.
I hear you Jay, and I agree that it can be helpful. The reason Ethan said that, the reason I agree with what he said, is that people *DO* in fact use this instead of treating the room.

It's the same reason the Army's most basic field manual still instructs the trainee not to place a tourniquet around the victim's neck to stem bleeding from a head wound...because enough soldiers did it that it was deemed a problem.
