      Yea, but this is kind of the lay up for doing that study. It’s how science works. You do a lit review and examine what data we have now, then you do that stuff.

        Sure, but the title strongly suggests a reason, despite the study itself explicitly avoiding such speculation.

            I die inside a little each time I see it. When there is a conflict between money and science, science should not be the one sacrificed for the sake of the other. Even if your only goal is money, wealth in a healthy society is worth vastly more than wealth atop a dung heap.
