This joke explains the hierarchy of scientific truth:

A mathematician once advised his students: "If you understand something and can prove it, then publish it in a mathematics journal. If you understand something, but can't prove it, then publish it in a physics journal. And if you don't understand something and can't prove it, then publish it in an engineering journal."

To this I would add: "And if you don't understand something and can't prove it and don't care anyway because you're just trying to make a fast buck, then publish it in a medical journal."

I am exhausted and I haven't even been to the gym yet. This is like Fauci declaring he is "science" so the debate is over. I have never studied logic, never knew there was such a thing as logical fallacies before 2020, but I have always known when something, simply, stinks. Thanks Mike, awesome work and you have incredible patience with these clowns. And you are right, we should never stoop to their level. We must always rise above and seek the truth.
