    You’re literally diagnosing him! “He doesn’t have dementia” is a diagnosis! And yeah, you definitely don’t have experience with aging. People change. Not all of them change fast, but that’s not what you said. You said it’s just a year, he must be the same. And that’s just not how it works.

    But I think you’re an ignorant troll, you think I’m a mean troll. I don’t think either of use has any hope of satisfying the other, so respond or not, it doesn’t matter.

      “We don’t know”/“We can’t know”/“There isn’t enough evidence” is not a diagnosis. I’m not that clueless. lol

      You said it’s just a year, he must be the same. And that’s just not how it works.

      Nah, how it works is that there is a apparent change in behavior that can’t be explained by other means that is not only uncharacteristic but also unexpected for his age and capacity that is also consistent and characteristic of the disease. You got any of those from your expert observations in that armchair?

      But I think you’re an ignorant troll

      Oh, really? Because I’m the one with the degree in medicine. How about you?

        Also you:

        You say that as if he has dementia, which he does not.

        So um, guess you are?

          The one that says there’s no diagnosis? lmao When you apply the null hypothesis you are negating an assertion. You’ve failed to prove that assertion. Try again but with more critical thought next time.
