Yes, except that I am the only expert on what music I like.
Oh, so you agree there are can be good reasons to discount the “expert” establishment, no matter how much “peer review” or citations they have.
Are we talking about degrees here. I am pretty sure Ive been talking about top level articles. Or can anyone with an IQ above 110 publish one of those?
Yes. But getting a degree is normally a prereq for publishing, and everyone who gets a degree publishes something. And yes, you can publish in the “top” journal articles in grad school.
No winning out here. The research will be closer to the truth than a random answer because the accuracy of the theories gets compared to reality buy doing experiments for example. Or because not every single person is completely biased and blind to the results that they get.
Not every single person has to be biased. Just enough of them.
Hey, that’s why they are correlations. I am not stopping you from believing that being predisposed to diabetes and cancer or whatever makes you more likely to eat red meat for example.
But the researchers conclude that red meat increases your risk of heart disease simply because it is associated with heart disease. That is dishonest. If they can get away with blatantly unsubstantiated statements like that in epidemiological papers, what can’t they get away with buried in their SAS databases and algorithms?
