This can be a very deceptive way of wording things. I see it used all of the time, even by scientists.
Statistically, the two treatments might produce an equal number of therapeutic responses, but not for the same people. In other words, Parnate most definitely can be more effective than Effexor+Remeron in one individual but not in another. It is not true that we can discontinue the manufacture of Parnate, or all other antidepressants, just because Effexor+Remeron has been shown to work on the greatest number of people. (I doubt that it does). There is no magic bullet here - not yet, anyway.
