    You disagree with my statement that is not actually contradicted by anything in your statement, apart from your open acceptance of flawed studies?

    My question then is this: what do they teach kids to allow them to spot flaws and what do they teach them as the method for determining who is reputable? Beyes theorem? How to control for multiple variables? I don’t actually know whether they go into this or tell kids to JUST trust an authority.

    Flawed studies have done all kinds of harm over the years before being retracted. Linking vaccines to autism for one.
