You're not getting jumped- it's just that referring to "common
knowledge" isn't a valid counter-argument to (at least) plausible
scientific data, despite a lack of detail. You say that our data has
not supported our conclusions "in any way whatsoever" (a point I would
disagree with), yet you do not provide *any* data whatsoever, not even
incomplete data, supporting your assumptions. I can think of plenty
of times over the course of human history when the common knowledge
was blatantly wrong, so it is only reasonable to question it.
