You are quite correct that there is a lot of bad science out there. The procedure for distributing public money for science grants has evolved into a system that fosters bad science.

If it doesn't grab a headline, confirm a pre-established political bias, or have some global implication, it doesn't get funded.

Private industry funded science only gets exposure when a company is seeking investors, particularly in the pharmaceutical industry.

Thanks, I couldn’t have said it better, I agree with you completely, and that means most of what everyone hears today is this bad science, and I mean really bad, it doesn’t even qualify as science, and that includes what we hear coming out of the space program unfortunately.
