Have you ever asked this question anyone else in any other context, when presented with scientific evidence?

It's an extremely important question to ask and especially when someone dumps a wall of text and a ton of studies on you that all support one viewpoint:

* Have you also evaluated studies that don't support this?

* If not, why not? Are you only looking for studies that support what you want to prove?

* If you have also looked at studies showing negative results, why have you decided not to include them here?

That's not really how debates work.
It is absolutely how debates about science work.
Yes and, especially, of myself.
