Then you made the exact same typo three times in one post! :-)

I don't disagree with Mosley's programmes. Not at all. In fact, I've watched a good few, though not all. When he gets a small group of people to take part in his latest study, for example, it's interesting but it's not science. The sample sizes are way too small and the "experiments" are carried out over far too short a time. He knows it too. At best, they may suggest something of interest that requires further study. That's all fine, though I wouldn't risk staking my life on his conclusions. It's entirely up to the viewers whether or not they take a dispassionate view of his findings, or, alternatively, decide whether he's saying what they want to hear. I'm not saying anything derogatory here. I'm simply describing the limitations of popular science. And I tend not to shout at you when I disagree with you.
