That’s the really bad part about these dumb articles."

You're right that the scientists involved all appear to work for government supported Universities & foundations.
As for their alleged "craziness", well... it's science, and I "get" that you don't like science when it disagrees with your religious faith.

But, it is what it is regardless, still science.

No it isn’t science any more. Things have changed. The use of statistics instead of common sense, the have to find something new instead of adding one more small bit of truth, the lack of accountability in research, the politics, the “social sciences”, the funding sources, the focusing on details instead of systems, the involvement of government, etc.

And mostly the lack of thinking skills and lack of understanding of the scientific method. I have presented challenging information to a professor in electrical engineering and his response to me was, “Why would anyone risk their career on something that isn’t true.” That is their touchstone for the truth.

In short, the willingness to believe anything without questioning.
