Default Science Proves Its Critics Wrong

This news article

https://nationalpost.com/news/canada...the-most-study

is interesting, but since it's a scientific study, those who are skeptical about
the validity of science itself will no doubt object to the self-referentiality of
the whole thing.

The very address says "Dunning-Kruger Effect."

Most of the foods that scientists go around genetically modifying are not the kinds of foods that I would want to eat anyway.

To paraphrase what one scientist said, "Your system can't distinguish cereal without sugar from sugar without cereal."

So the anti-GMers are right, but for the wrong reasons.

To paraphrase at least one scientist, "Your system can't tell the difference between cereal without sugar and sugar without cereal."

By avoiding corn, you can avoid GM corn. By avoiding GM corn, maybe you can avoid most corn.

Some of the anti-GMers are right, but not for the reasons they might think.

If you believe in global warming, then you shouldn't fly to Iceland. Swim maybe, or sail or row a boat. But not fly there.

There’s nothing wrong with genetic modification. It’s what it’s used for
