I agree.

I agree 100%.

And we need a lot more of this. Sorry, I may have come off too strong
before.

It's just that sometimes we (as a society) try to read too much into
some of these studies. This includes current medical research.
Sometimes we want the data to prove something that the experiment just
didn't address.

Unfortunately, a lot of the experiments we really need, take 5, 10, 20
years to conduct. If the experiment isn't set up right to begin with,
a lot of time can be wasted.
