@mahgister,
Good link but you could take its argument any way you chose.
In any case, external interference in scientific research ("flagrant conflicts of interest") cannot be a good thing.
Or are scientific independence and impartiality already things of the past?
Did they even exist then? Or ever?
In any case we must surely be at a stage of enquiry that's unprecedented in the whole of human history.
So many subjects now find themselves under an increasingly bright worldwide spotlight at the same time by so many people.
From election conspiracies, the legitimacy of the moon landings, the relevance of the 7.83Hz Schumann Resonance, the supposed death of Paul McCartney, the assassination of JFK, 911, false flags, the covid response, flat earth proponents, the decades old digital v analogue debate, spikes v springs etc.
A kind of intellectual theoretical Darwinist battle is being played out on a daily basis. What will eventually emerge may well be the truth, or it may not.
Hopefully some bright sparks with never before seen levels of accessible data at their disposal, will be able to make the same kinds of groundbreaking discoveries that the ancient Greeks were able to via sheer force of reason.

'More recently, Richard Horton, editor of The Lancet, wrote that
“The case against science is straightforward: much of the scientific literature, perhaps half, may simply be untrue.
Afflicted by studies with small sample sizes, tiny effects, invalid exploratory analyses, and flagrant conflicts of interest, together with an obsession for pursuing fashionable trends of dubious importance, science has taken a turn towards darkness.'
