i didn't say "all the studies," so let's go ahead and stop changing each others' words to whatever we prefer they said

also, fraud in the scientific literature has been going on forever.

that latest one is about sugar companies telling you you're fat only because you're not exercising enough, not because you drink 7 cokes per day

so far, we've ignored the AI angle:

again, i'm not saying ALL papers are fraudulent or even biased, but i'm definitely skeptical of scientific "conclusions" that dismiss methods that involve spending less money and/or blames the patient's problems on "not enough exercise" while ignoring dietary habits

Okay, yeah, I came in too aggressive and sorry for that.
