Subject: RE: We cannot have an opinion
You can have a good theory based on good evidence yet still be seeking more evidence. That includes not dismissing evidence that seems, inconveniently, not to fit. That kind of tendentious behaviour has no place in science, though, unfortunately, it is occasionally found there. The pharmaceutical industry is a not infrequent culprit. Investing money in your idea brings the risk of such bias, to all our detriment.
