I found this interesting.

Quote:
These flawed findings, for the most part, stem not from fraud or formal misconduct, but from more mundane misbehavior: miscalculation, poor study design or self-serving data analysis. "There is an increasing concern that in modern research, false findings may be the majority or even the vast majority of published research claims," Dr. Ioannidis said. "A new claim about a research finding is more likely to be false than true."

You don't say? Really?
You mean that the research done isn't the complete and absolute fact? you mean that this isn't the truth? Really? I never knew, I always assumed that every single "Peer reviewed" research was absolute fact, pure and unadulterated truth! Oh woe is me, whatever will I do if I can't count on "scientist" to tell me the "truth", I mean I might actually have to think on my own!
