Is a robust citation each available for each of those related claims?
I'm not looking for dogmatic assertions, I mean the fundamental and reproducible papers proving those claims.
Because those are all in direct opposition with the parent. And two views of an issue will not be resolved by each claiming opposite dogma.
Hopefully someone can present the evidence. A textbook citation is not enough. Are there really controlled experiments showing these things? Or is it mostly theoretical? Is it time to ask what we know--are these "facts we have been taught", or have we looked into the scientific validity of the proofs with the criticality of a practicing scientist?
I think that very solid citations here would actually go a long way to inform the parent, but I doubt that anything short of that would do so.
- stonogo 2y agoI do not have the time or the inclination to perform a comprehensive literature review for the benefit of a web forum. The body of work in this area is massive, well understood, and public. You can replicate results in any university microbiology course. Thousands of students do these things every day. You can even construct your own PCR setup from a cd rom drive and parts and do it at home. Reagents and primers are available on the open market. If, given all that, the difference between acceptance and rejection is some links in a forum post, there wasn't really any interest in the truth to start with.
