[quote:Anonymous Coward 75993659:MV8zOTk2NjQ5XzcyMzMyNTM2XzdBNDJBRUVD] [quote:Forever.the.Student:MV8zOTk2NjQ5XzU0MDM1N0E4] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvZNXRiAsn4 [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvZNXRiAsn4[/youtube] [/quote] Science, research, and published studies are all shit nowadays. Nearly the large majority of it is not empirical at all. In my final year of university studies I was hired part time at a toxicology lab at the university. They were doing research on the effect of benzene in fetal development (on rats and mice). The study was funded by several of the tobacco giants in Canada. When the study was complete, the funding sources did not like the results of the study (it showed horrible defects and increased cancer rates in the mothers and the fetuses). So the principal investigator was told to scrap it and redo it all and to "make sure it was done correctly" (aka in favour of the big tobacco funders). The new study secretly skewed the data and "showed" no cause of concern. And it was published in numerous journals. So yeah, ever since then I knew never to trust any piece of science from that point on. [/quote]
