>Notice that a charged label on a Wikipedia page is enough for you, a skeptical person, to make an absolute conclusion.

Notice what charged label on the page [1]? By common sense logic of conversation, if you considered that I was using a "charged label" (whatever the heck that means) in my argument, the onus was on you to, at a minimum, mention that label, which you clearly did not do, although I think I can guess which one you mean.

How about you first sharing "the landmark study or experiment" that proves it?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phrenology

And I wonder if you read the whole article, seeing that the word "discredited" (referring to phrenology) appears at least 5 or 6 times in the article, in many cases with citations.
