> You can construct experiments to demonstrate damn near anything is true, and without (or even with) a rigorous background in statistics and scientific methodology, it's very hard to examine the supposed evidence. One time I was at this silly daylong corporate team building event where they assigned us to groups and had us do "experiments." As it happened one of my group members has a PhD in Particle Physics and the look on his face was something else. Needless to say he didn't bother telling the take charge type that her experiment design was entirely nonsensical, because why bother, but I was amused.
