> why various studies aren't 100% perfect

You have to agree the presented studies are very far from 100% perfect, you just chose to believe them. That is your choice but you shouldn't force this choice on others.

> what you won't find is big placebo-controlled gold standard trials with enough dosing to achieve statistical significance

Would they be really needed if MDMA really was the killer drug you are making it to be? Because for alcohol (or heroin) abuse it's not that hard to get statistical significance from observation studies on population - a combination of large number of people abusing alcohol and its large negative effects. Where are similar studies for MDMA proving your claims?
