How often is a study even repeated in the course of normal scientific research? I think most studies are focused on expanding the research and therefore knowledge about the science being studied. Accepting previous studies as fact is dang

This is the exact reason I don't believe science should be used blindly to affect government policy. It flies in the face of democracy and is subject to falsehoods just like any other human endeavor.

I don't think it's unreasonable for people to expect that they should be able to work in a field for the majority of their careers. Retraining is not an efficient use of ones productive years.
