This article makes some good points, although ones that have been made a lot recently, but it hugely oversells the regress argument. If that was happening, it should be quite easy to measure in some areas: 5 year cancer survival rates should fall, corn yields should drop, and so on. For the most part, we don't seem to see that. If it was all some sort of faith, and the bad findings were accepted, we should see more-or-less random changes instead of steady improvement
