A disclaimer...of sorts

While a lot of what I talk about I express as fact, I'm aware that it's unsupported. It's not that I haven't read the research, but I'm not interested in trying to prove theories by citing internet articles. If people are interested in details, I'm happy to help point to things they can read which may help and discuss the strengths and weaknesses of sources. After all, as a scientist I have to be able to fit all observations to my theory. But people are generally far too inconsistent in how they apply scientific research to make their decisions and I don't want to contribute to that with a half-assed job. So I won't.

I'm not here to prove anything or sell anything. If I express something that triggers a though or more research of your own, I'd be glad, and if it provides a basis for initiating discussion so much the better.
