        @BoingBoing @feliciaday They use the term "popular consensus." They know nothing of science.

        @BoingBoing @feliciaday It's an interesting study. Negative comments polarize opinions - so shut down comments totally. Interesting.

        @BoingBoing no they don't. Its basically someone else said it was bad, so its always bad. Poor logic, poor reason, bad! Popular science!
