Hey! Really intriguing post. Even though I see EBM as a positive approach which can greatly benefit the medical society, it has also been abused by certain "vested interests" in my opinion. Several companies in the pharmaceutical field have conducted their research in a manipulative way to be able to describe their treatments as having strong epistemological strength. They do this, for instance, by setting test-subject inclusion criteria in such a way that they will only get subjects that will respond positively to their treatment. So, I think EBM does have a strong and positive value but not all studies should be blindly trusted if they have good EBM results!
