> The orthodontists stressed that no one had ever conducted a credible study of orthotropics, and so all of the Mews’ claims of its efficacy were unproved To me, this is the gist. Obviously there's not infinite resources to research all theories, and one needs to make educated guess into where to best put the funds for which theory to research. That said, I do believe we're realizing that a lot of sciences have gotten a bit in a state of complacency, in some ways, the job is a job, you learn and apply. True curiosity and breakthrough is hard and rare, but it seems the institutions have also lost a drive towards them. Unless the article is missing other factual information, like hard overwhelming evidence of the genetics theory for example. But still, as a truth seeker. So it leaves me wondering, what else is being researched in orthodontistry? Where's the fund going? What theories are considered worth investigating? Or is the whole field just stale?
