    That being said a science is flawless, ppl definitely aren’t. Inherent bias finds its way into all kinds of studies.

    Sometimes evidence is treated as the gospel with little to no peer review.

      Science is not flawless….thats way too broad a statement to make for it to have any meaning. The concept at the core sure, but in practice you can’t account for so many infinite variables that ultimately impact the ability to practice it with 100% accuracy. That’s not a people flaw either, that’s just how complex systems work.

      Often people treat the existence of a study as proof of the studies conclusion. As someone with family in the research field I know this couldn’t be further from the truth. Not even being published means it’s credible as many publications simply publish anything that anyone will pay to publish.
