Paul, surely the fact that certain research claims are taken up by people
who have an agenda such as you cite says nothing one way or the other

Allen--
If their raw data and the processes that produced them were
independently confirmed in some ideal world that might be true.
However, researchers are behaving organisms and their claims are
their behaviors.
Therefore, it is prudent to take into account factors which might
influence these behaviors (Bayesian Behaviorism?);-)
The emphasis here is on "claims"; not on "research".
