> So you are convinced of your views and uninterested in evidence to the contrary

Yes I am convinced in my views. Am I uninterested in evidence to the contrary? It depends, what's the evidence?

If research comes up with a conclusion that significantly diverges from common sense I don't pay much attention to it unless it's been replicated and the experiments are well designed.

Plenty of "common sense" turns out to be nonsense over time.
Mate, please tone it down a notch, this is not reddit. You make some good points, which will likely get downvoted and hidden just for the writing style that has nothing to do with your argument. My 2c.
