That's actually completely inaccurate. Deworming and the worm wars is used as a classic example of science held back by poor disclosure. Why haven't I linked to GiveWell's report on deworming? Because anyone interested in this area would probably have been exposed to it and I'm not talking to the hundred people interested in EA vaguely, but the 10 or so who look deep into the evidence and methodology. Obliteration by incorporation.
