I am a scientist, with extensive training in biochemistry and cell and molecular biology, and I can tell you that the commentary here has been abysmal. Factual information with citations (often, multiple) is routinely grayed out due to herd downvoting, while wild speculation and opinion are at the top of threads. Folks here know about enough science and math to be persuasive when extrapolating, but not enough to truly understand what they're reading, and that's dangerous.
