Like I never said something like that.
So I think actually that was one of the major issues with COVID and the –
the distrust in science is science is supposed to be a very behind the curtain thing, right?
Like a scientist debate about stuff.
We do studies and like 30 years after that, we come to a consensus and we go, we think this, right?
And instead, everybody got to see the scientific process play out in real life, which was, well, this study says this and this study says this.
And, well, that control wasn't appropriate with this here.
And we were trying to sail the ship while we were trying to build the ship, you know.
And I said right at the start, I said, 20 years from now, I'll be able to look back and say, we should have done this.
but we couldn't.
And unfortunately it's led to like this really pervasive, uh, distrust in science.
In fact, whenever I get into, you know, presenting people with evidence, what they end up defaulting to is why I just don't trust science.
Cause it can just be, it's just be faked.
It'd just be bought.
You know, I'm like, that's do studies get faked.
Sure.
That's much less that happens than just poor design and, um,
like or designs or P hacking or designs that are designed in such a way that it looks like you're testing two things, but you're not going to actually see a difference, you know?
So very rarely.
And I tell people this almost without fail.
