that’s only been backed up by one study. Argument is invalid
If by one you mean more than one then yeah. A quick google gave me 3 studies on it but if I’d spent a whole minute I might have found more.
Besides even if it was only 1 study, do you have any idea how much of our “science” is based on factual studies? Just look how far they got with global warming and it’s “study data” was almost entirely fictional. Studies and articles used to be how things got done but the last decade has proven it’s allows equally bad science to get pushed. It’s far easier to publish than it used to be, mainly because all the actual “good science” is spent trying to debunk the already published “bad science”. And before you call me full of crap, I spent my junior and senior years disproving a large chunk of a freshly published book on metamaterials, written by one of the “leaders” in the field. I’d have much rather done something else but that’s what the program head wanted us to do so we did.
