You do understand that there is a vast financial interest in "debunking" scientific findings like this?

The first red flag that there are corporate interests behind any "debunking" effort is that an actually serious finding is not discussed openly, but various outlets immediately go for the discredit and debunk method.

That's corporate modus operandi 101 for burying inconvenient people and data.



You shouldn't try to generally debunk debunking, becaust it's a completely irrational thing to do. Just explain where a specific criticism fails.


Maybe instead of being cynical about people's motives you should try to go through what they are saying and see if it makes sense or not, or if the evidence its based upon is correct.

So which finding was not discussed properly in the link i posted?


Except Novella's critique is entirely reasonable...
