No offense :-)
I would offer this analogy.
The pedagogue who might claim that putting your hand in the fire does not cause pain and then go on to descrive the pain process in excruciating detail and talk about platelet aggregation and the like.
I am a simple minded schmuck. We know that blood vessels dilate during a cluster. We know that induced constriction aborts an attack. Hmmmmm.
We also know that skin cells, blood vessel cells. gall bladder cells, bone cells, brain cells, etc. can not feel pain. We know that only nerve cells can transmit pain sensations to the brain. YAWN
