    I don’t recall reading comments on any article that mentions study results where there isn’t someone doing exactly this. If I’m to believe comments like yours, no legitimate study has ever been reported on

    When any study is reported on, suddenly every Internet user is an excellent judge of what constitutes a good study.

    Curious, are you a scientist or some other authority on such matters? Seriously want to know.

      If you follow your logic to its full conclusion, you’re essentially saying

      1. You believe all dissenting opinions and thus all studies are invalid
      2. You believe no dissenting opinions and thus all studies are valid

      This is not a very useful line of thinking. The existence of dissent over most studies does not mean all the dissent is invalid.

      As for your other question, no I’m not a scientist, just a student

        I don’t follow this. I supposed to pick one or are both opposing views true at once?

        What I’m actually saying is that it would be nice, if literally once in life, a study offered a conclusion and that was that. Sometimes it weighs on the soul to think that all information is potentially false and that no source can be trusted.

        I am all for questioning data and finding the truth. But as I said, the fact that it’s never a thing that everyone can agree on literally anything, is exhausting.
