"One very dominant pattern that I see on a frequent basis is the tendency
to cite preliminary evidence as if it is rock-solid and confirmed.
People will worry about the health effects of GMOs or vaccines because
of a few flawed studies. They will promote the health benefits of a
supplement based upon a preclinical study that is many steps removed
from actual clinical claims. They will accept a new phenomenon as real
based on studies that have never been replicated."
Reproducibility is Critical
