I love that phrase. "The Science is Clear!!" or even better, "Experts Agree" "9 out of 10 dentists recommend" Simple rebuttal when you run into that: Reading the conclusion of the paper does not mean you understand the study.
People want 30 second snippets, so that's all that gets out anymore. It really sucks.

I'm pretty sure that's part of the definition of science, repeatable testable conclusions from a dataset? Forgive me I'm too lazy to google things.

I think we agree on this, but why oh why do people have to make the scientific method the place where they twist reality to fit their wants?
I'm upset that people get away with that shit. It discredits the whole group.
