Not exactly. People who fund "studies" want a certain result, and they hire scientists who can find them that result. I'm not saying that ALL scientists do that, but many do. And true scientists will never come to a consensus. Science is getting a repeatable result from an experiment. Not sometimes it's result "A", sometimes it's result "B", so we'll agree to call it "C". 4 1 Quote
