They are addictive at just about any doseage, so MPH is far preferable,
since it is not addictive at the doseages that werre administered.


The article didn't say that. Instead, it said:

After 7 days they had the option of stopping the medication or
continuing for 3 more weeks. All the patients reported that the
drug helped and all chose to continue taking it.

It sounds like they were all addicted.


Only in Schlafly-land. To me, it sounds like the meds were working
and they decided to stick with 'em. No doubt, had you been part of
the study, you would have said "gee, these are working but I'm
afraid that's addiction" and taken a pass.

Sure you would.
