I’m from Missouri : Show me an example of a cause and effect test that can be duplicated by peers, worldwide. IF all these test produce the same results, then test the assumptions, variables, etc. in an independent manner.
Re-search the literature yourself and pretend that you are also from Missouri.
If you find just ONE valid cause and effect please be so kind as to send me the reference.
