I love how you think. I resonate with everything you're saying here. I always think of the Lancet editor in chief who suggested that half of all medical literature is false or misleading. And that Nature article is good. I'm using that for our WTK newsletter :)
Your post reminds me of a quote I have about Albert Einstein.
When Albert Einstein was teaching at a university, a student came to him and asked, ‘Is it true that the final exam this year has the same questions as last year?’ Einstein replied, ‘Yes, but the answers have changed.’
Thanks. The Nature piece is a good one for WTK. Love the Einstein bit: )
