Next week there will be a study refuting the MIT study, then another refuting that study, back and forth. It seems no matter the study academia publishes, and how much it is lauded for its clarity, breadth, and quality, another study will come along ripping it to shreds that another group will heap praise upon.
- CobrastanJorji 9y agoYou're saying that like it's a bad thing, but so long as each new study is honest criticism of the previous study or brings new information to the table, that sounds like exactly how big questions like this should be handled.
- Overtonwindow 9y agoFair point. I don't mean it to sound like a bad thing, but I understand and accept that research and science can be bought. For every study supporting something, another study could be done that refutes it. Especially in such a politically charged atmosphere and issue, it gets hard to trust one source over the other. I trust the MIT study more than the UW study, but someone else probably has the completely opposite viewpoint.
