Exactly. Most of what is called "research" is just an attempt to prove something someone already believed. They come up with a theory, set out to prove it, and toss out any data contrary to their theory unseen. This happens on both sides of any high-stakes debate. You'd have to be pretty naive to not know this. Even if every single thing on this list is bullshit, which much probably is, all it proves is that this issue has long since left the realm of actual scientific debate. People who support the theory think everyone who denies it is ignorant, but most supporters (of which I am one, vaguely) don't realize that their team is full of ignorance too. I suppose maybe it's useful to point that out, I just assume everyone here already knows this.
