Re: When all else fails, try "It's for the children"
It's the research equivalent of doctor shopping. If you do enough studies, you'll eventually find one that gives you the results you're looking for. Then you point to that one to show the horrible dangers of Wi-Fi and disregard the tons of other studies that say it's not dangerous at all. |

| Yep. Will always find someone will to go along with your results, even in the most professional fields. Enough money and time could probably find you a doctor who claims HIV doesn't exist, cancer is in psychosomatic, etc. Problem is, as you said, it's these sort of studies that people then hold in high esteem to sell their results or invoke panic. Sigh, but hey, that's why you read who does the study and who was behind it to draw your own conclusions! |
