Fine. Does "scientists said so" have no effect on you, or is the

want to bias their report? I have no clue.
Am I so predicatable that you can predict which of these two has no
effect on me?
No. I was asking -- I forgot to put a question mark after "concerns
you." My guess is that you think ABC can get scientist who will say
whatever they want to hear, but I think they are more honest than that.
Yes, but later in your post you said I was predictable. I was wondering
why, since I was so predictable, why you couldn't predict this one.
I don't know why ABC would bias their report, as I cannot read their
mind. But I have seen them bias reports, and so my presumption is that
when I hear an ABC report that I assume that it has some strong bias,
unless there is strong alternative evidence to support that particular
report. (Because the argument "ABC says so" cannot be used as an
argument against a particular point of view, either.)
