as a scientist, i wouldn't trust a single iota of "evidence" that passes through a private corporation with a financial interest in the results reading a certain way. they won't outright fabricate, usually. but they'll repeat experiments with various perversions until they get the result they want. and this is commonplace elsewhere in science, too, but it's typically disclosed in the methods section and people can put the pieces together for themselves.
