Seems like there's a new, heated debate that desensitization and classical conditioning don't work.

Here's the thing, though.

Claiming classical conditioning doesn't work is like claiming driving doesn't get you to your destination.

What we really mean is that the route we took or the way we drove didn't get us to where we wanted to go.

Driving works, but using the wrong directions or missing turns will keep us from arriving.

Sometimes roads are blocked, there's bad weather, or the car breaks down.

Driving still works.
