Science is like statistics: one can find a scientific study to validate anything. While science itself is sometimes corrupted, it is usually the use of a study that skews the scientific argument toward one side or another.
Years ago I used to practically shout at “America’s Most Trusted Man” Watler Cronkite when he would give his inane signoff “And that’s the way it is this . . . “. The reason I hated it was because the news broadcast was no more a reflection of reality than any other individual’s perception. The problem wasn’t that the news wasn’t objective. It can’t be objective; it’s always a matter of the perception by the reporter of the news. The problem was the news industry claimed to be objective when it clearly wasn’t.
We now need to learn this lesson about science. Science can be just as manipulated as the news and it is up to the public to treat science as a matter of Caveat Emptor like we treat advertisements.

I once had the head of the TN Parole Board tell me he could make the repeat offender rate what ever he needed to by controlling WHO he released. They know who will be coming back and how soon, they release them any way.
