I suggest all review this topic from the beginning. In particular, I find Rahvin's
message 14 to be particularly good. Off now to dig up the September 2005 POTM topic, to nominate that message.
It has at least sort of been touched upon by others, that the message 1 cited example is to some degree bad writing. Despite the fact that the article is about medical/pharmaceutical issues publications, the headline is "Most scientific papers are probably wrong". Something such as "Most medical/pharmaceutical scientific papers are flawed" would (IMO) have been a better title.
