Please, Mr. Method, explain how Dr. Barry Marshall, presenting complete
scientific proof that a bacterium causes ulcers (down to and including
actually inducing the disease in a living organism), was flatly told
"nothing can live in the gut" and ignored for a dozen years.

Drs. Warren and Marshall won the Nobel Prize in Medicine DESPITE "science",
not because of it.


We won't even talk about the fact that in order to prove that second-hand
smoke causes cancer, the very first thing you have to do is to violate
CDC standard 51 FR 3392 regarding cancer research (that is, to lower
the required confidence level from 95% to 90%, because the data won't
even get you close to 95%).
