- chickenpotpie 6y agoYou’re rejecting the conclusion of studies that you haven’t even read?

- cloakandswagger 6y agoPersonal observations and reasoning > crooked, conclusion-oriented "studies"
- chickenpotpie 6y agoActually reading a study, researching who conducted and funding it, and their methods > calling a study crooked because it disagrees with your world views
