Royal Rant: Study This

Lately I've been debating everyone and one thing always comes up during these debates, "they did a study." My reply is always study, smudy. These days there are studies that say everything from reading helps you to if you read too much you become a spinster.

When writing a paper or trying to make my argument stronger I would do the same thing in the past. Well this study says this and they say that, but then I noticed that everytime I would cite a study there would be another one to knock my opinion down. Ok so what, who cares right? I care and it really irritates me that these scientists want to be taken seriously but no group of them can agree with another group. It's like one of professors always say, when you conduct an experiment, you should be able to do it time after time and get the same results.

How is it then that these 'professionals' are apparently doing the same tests but coming up with different results each time? It's odd to me that they can't duplicate the others results and reinforce a colleagues findings. I know that some are just chasing headlines or hoping for a big find that will bring them millions of dollars but at what expense?

If we ever debate one another please use facts other than these so called studies, or I will have to cite other studies to debunk you. Of course I'm sure theres a study to debunk this rant but then theres another study to prove it..Sigh..
