      Honestly I am a little surprised that anybody looked into something that we all pretty much already knew.

        On one hand it’s obvious. On the other hand it’s good to point it out for the people that aren’t paying attention.

        There’s a fine line between the two. You see this a lot in all of those scientific studies that you read about and think “well, yeah obviously”. It’s good to have proof though.

          Yeah, I agree with that, but the fact that people will continue to argue shit is awesome. Like even shit that most of us know is BS, someone is out there proving why it’s BS. That’s my point. I’m happy that there are people that still have enough energy left to say “this is bullshit and here’s the proof” because I’m running out of steam.
