And that's even before considering how "business interests" negate reliability and veracity of anything that is advertized as science -- especially since the U S Supreme Court decided that corporations have the same rights with respect to freedom of speech that any human liar or loser has.
If one wishes to be highly technical and very careful in how one gathers evidence, there is actually no actual evidence of much at all. It is a simply ignored fact of life that, for any of several reasons, there is no actual evidence of reliable, verifiable evidence of anything -- with the exception of "I am" -- and that is a hopelessly subjective piece of data.
This is a disturbing little factoid to many and a confusing little thoughtoid to most who try to wrap their mind around it. It is a very helpful piece of info, though, to anyone that might be very bothered by something very bad happening -- because it means a person cannot be certain that anything is bad. When you can't change a crappy reality in any other way, there is always the possibility of lessening the weight of the "bad" thing by reminding one's self that it is impossible to know if something is really bad or really good or really at all. When you really understand this, it really does work.
