#2 Well...ahem, harumph, do not deny brilliant Stanford epidemiologist John P.A. Ioannidis his credit.

#3 Indeed.

What would someone like Dr. Ioannidis know about calling bullshit on experts whose published research studies are so riddled with errors as to be false 90% of the time?

Oh wait...

#4 But wait, Lex! That was 15 years ago. I'm sure it's gotten much better, now!

#5 Actually, thanks to Dr Ioannidis, during the last 15 years there has developed a widespread awareness of the "replication or reproducibility crisis" in biomedical science, also economics and other research areas, to the point that a new field of metascience has arisen.

So there's hope that these bogus causal assertions can at least be spotted and nipped in the bud before they do too much damage.
