Do you look at new studies with skepticism?

345>It seems like every day when I go online to get news, I come across a report about a new study that %26quot;suggests%26quot; something or states emphatically that ________ %26quot;may%26quot; cause ________.





What on earth are we expected to do with such vague non-conclusions? Alter what we%26#039;re doing? Quake in our boots? Run screaming for the hills like psychotic banshees?





It%26#039;s all rather ludicrous. Look at how science will say that something definitely causes cancer, then will recant that claim a few years later.





I%26#039;m certainly not anti-science. I just think it%26#039;s odd that things are published that are, in fact, only hunches as opposed to conclusive determinations.





If all these highly funded scientists want to study something worthwhile, how about getting to the bottom of where those extra socks go everytime we lose one in the laundry?
Reply:Plato said that %26quot;Science is true speaking%26quot;, not probably true speaking.


You are absolutely right about this phenomenon.


This craziness about probably truth conquer us all.


Internet is not the only space that they can spread these anti-scientific rumors.


Generally, west science believes that experiment is science and so we came to conclusion that only experimenting with something we become scientists.
