In @alzdemjournals I argue that the label "preclinical AD" has limited public health value if it includes individuals who are positive for specific AD biomarkers without clinical manifestations and without certainty that they'll develop them. Thoughts?

@FeyeraBender IMO, what you describe as "lack of caring" could be your new intellectual and personal object of study, with a worthy place in your thesis, and if you can justify why you're going down new avenues (IE. get rigorous about this not caring), you'll still be able to finish the PhD.
