100. Do you have any inkling as to what you are talking about?

OK, let me educate you on this...

Let's see, basic summary as to how science works. First there is the hypothesis, its a basic idea, it can be ANY idea, next is experimentation/observation, now, at this point, if you are a good scientist, if the data from those doesn't support the theory, you abandon it and start anew, if it seems to support it, then you submit it for peer review. Now this is the part that I'm talking about, most science isn't accepted by the scientific community, if you can call them that, until a consensus is reach. Now, generally, most hypothesis are abandoned as bad ideas, generally due to either the first round of testing, or through peer review. Or they are modified if they are mostly supported, but not completely.

That's consensus, that's peer review, and that's the part that is most important. Any individual or small team of scientists can bring any number of prejudices into a study, that's why peer review exists, to eliminate those biases as much as possible. Most studies are inaccurate and bad science, that's why they don't survive peer review.

You seem to think that the existence of such studies is in itself a slam against science, when its anything but, that's why I asked if it was part of the consensus, you obviously don't understand how science works.
