This is all very noble on paper. Yes, people can be persuasive to twist the truth. And testing is good for arriving at proof. But what the ancient philosophers didn't count on, is that there is a machine in charge of what gets tested and how, and that choosing what and how things get tested can also be twisted to be persuasive. I can develop and thoroughly test my own drug, and then persuade you that a much cheaper chemical is not tested enough (because I blocked all attempts at testing it), and then I would point to the noble principles of ancient science as to why things need verification. In other words, the current world is teaching us that really powerful corporations can test selectively about a whole lot of things.
