I wanted to post this comment on the blog but was blocked for some reason.

Bill Wilson, the founder of AA, is an excellent example of someone who made a great discovery through self-experimentation. The AA program was adapted from an earlier program based on Wilson's observations about what worked and what didn't work for alcoholics. The entire program continued to be shaped by this type of experimentation and by group collaboration. AA is far from perfect, but evidence-based medicine has so far failed to come up with a treatment option that rivals the 12 step approach.

When I first tried to post the comment, I had a link to a bio of Bill Wilson. A lot of blog spam consists of hyperlinks, so I thought that's why it was blocked. But then I took out the link and still couldn't post the comment.
