Or at least restrict oneself to saying "The preceding data raise very serious questions about aspect x of y." Even in the most plaintiff-friendly environment it would seem difficult to mount a case for libel... But is the message then diluted? I suppose it depends on the audience.
- danso 14y agoI would think that out of all audiences, a scientific one could respect the idea that facts without rhetoric, speak for themselves.
- pfortuny 14y agoOK, but as another commenter says, when you play the scientist, you must stick with the rules. Otherwise you are playing the journalist, which character has a quite different set of rules (and consequences). It is as easy as saying: "This graph is in contrast with this data...". If it is overwhelming, it is by itself, not by the adjectives.
