21. So sticking needles in has a "pain mitigating effect" even according to you.

It took Chinese medicine -- not quack medicine -- to teach us that.

The only reason we know this reduces pain is because we investigated the practices of acupuncture -- and confirmed that they worked. Just because we don't accept the philosophical underpinnings of the practice doesn't make it ineffective.
