If this is true, then the most likely world I see in which it gets accepted is one where T3 tests become more like glucose tests: reasonably cheap, and available for patients to self-administer at home.

No, the T3 test is well known. We only have to have a very little faith in medical science to think that the only way these things can be occult hypothyroidism is if they don't show up on any usual thyroid hormone test.

And for all my recent ranting, these are good, clever people, trying their best. The problem must be hard.
