==Do you ever read the journal articles? Or do you glean all of your scientific knowledge from press releases?

LOL...that’s where most Evos admit to getting their scientific updates. And I can’t say I blame them. The abstracts alone would fill up many phone books every month in just about any scientific discipline. And most of those papers are of the bean counting variety necessitated by the publish or perish mentality. Indeed, these mountains of mostly inconsequential papers that scientists can’t even begin to read is a sure sign that government science is bloated and way overfunded. It’s time to take science out of the hands of the government, and, with the exception of national defense, return it to the free market where it belongs.

That's a "no", isn't it? You don't read the journal actual articles. That explains a lot.

I didn't ask you originally, but thanks for answering anyways.
