Soz, I should explain: Allow a speech about something a bit of leeway but if the source is bollocks, then call it out as such. Science is a thing. The scientific method is a thing. A speech at an event can be a bit wayward and take liberties but the original, quoted, research should be sound. Is it?

Scientists are just people who slept through a few more lectures than the rest of us. Of course they can be full of shit occasionally.
