I'm not sure sure if you made a mistake or if you are joking
satchlj··on Time to assume that health research is fraudulent until proven otherwise?
This should be the default scientific position, however because people (including scientists) care greatly about their health and the health of their loved ones, they are very likely to latch on to things that they would like to be true

science is almost never practiced in its ideal form; maybe it's Time to assume that results from our scientific institutions are flawed which is my assumption

Thanks for the recommendation - I will check it out.

In "Do Dice Play God", another great book, I learned that the earliest dice (probably used initially for diving the future and only later for gambling) had rectangular sides instead of square ones.

I wonder if (a) that was because their creators didn't understand even the very basics of probability, or (b) if the idea of fairness and each number being rolled with equal frequency just wasn't important to them. Not sure.
