Re: "Scientists Say" blather

What I want is to be left alone by the self-righteous hypocrites.
I've never met anyone so self-righteous as you,
Sang! And let's not talk about hypocrisy...

I don't need to have a Ph. D. in genetics to recognize bogus "science" -- nor to call out those who tout the same, for self-interested reasons.
When you say "every bit of research" you mean "every bit of
biased self-interested pseudo-science": To you, only the "result" matters -- the quality of the science is besides the point. I've seen this repeatedly.
As long as you can claim enough others agree with you, that clinches the case for you. But, if that's good enough, even Newton's conception of gravitation would fail: Almost everybody knows that heavier bodies fall faster than lighter ones!
Did you have any
pet fMRI studies you'll miss especially?

(You know, like the "ground-breaking" study that found that
conservatives were more prone to authoritarianism? Did you miss the recent addendum?

The one that said Oh, by the way, the data said exactly the opposite -- but that doesn't matter?

) It's hard to keep up, when you never learned how to -oh, what's that term? Oh, right: Think critically!
(For you -and some others- that's a
buzz-word. God forbid, you should actually have to
do it...)
There's a reason the media get away with shoddy or out-right dishonest reporting of scientific "results" -- and laziness ain't it.
