We Made Our Wording About Research and Results More Careful

We want every sentence about research to say what the research actually supports. This round, we went through our articles, wellness notes, Natural Mystic modules, and Know Your Roots pages, and the knowledge our companions draw on, looking for places that stated a finding or an effect more strongly than the evidence allows.

What changed

  • Sentences about research findings now say what the research suggests, supports, or points to, instead of describing it as settled proof.
  • Sentences about what music, community, or a practice does for a person now describe what it can do or how it can help, instead of promising a result.
  • Words that borrowed clinical authority were replaced with plainer language, or with the name of the field that makes the point.
  • Oji Echo and Hope Echo received the same wording updates in the scrolls they draw from, so what they say matches what the pages say.

What did not change

  • The research and the named sources behind our articles are the same.
  • Where we quote a person or a study in its own words, we left those words as they were.
  • LEGH’s companions, articles, and education are free, and they stay free.

If you see a line anywhere on the site that says more than the evidence supports, tell us.
