"there was little scientific knowledge about concussion in the public domain."
That's bs. We knew about concussions and head injuries being nasty. That's why patriarchal societies didn't let women box, a good thing, but amused themselves with poor men, "rif-raf", beating themselves senseless (a bad thing)
What we have had since the 1950s is that nasty little refrain: "there's no scientific evidence linking <x> with <y>" and the like. As if something doesn't exist until we can detect a statistical signal.
Science has been ruined by this. All other means to explore Truth, Beauty, logical Reason [1], etc, are dismissed under the weight of "statistical evidence".
We knew Ronda. We knew.
[1] yes, even logical reasoning unless underpinned by fast materialistic assumptions like QED are dismissed.
