> I specifically said that not everything published in a journal is true!

Yes, but the undertone of your message was towards them being generally good and useful. Which my post disagrees with. This view hardens with every new year.

The entirety of your comment just now is predicated on this one point, which is treating your words at face value, rather than their implication. To act like I didn't understand your words, let alone read them, is an insult to the both of us - notably you. Because if you believed what you had typed, you would not expect a real response from you typing it, which would make you typing it pointless in the first place.

Research published in journals like The Lancet is generally useful. I don't agree that it's reasonable to dismiss everything published like that. What are you even left with at that point, other than knee-jerk contrarian takes?
