This part is backwards.

Uncritically accepted: the occasional study that can be (sometimes mis)interpreted as casting doubt.
This part is filled with personal bias.
Who said 100% must equal consensus?
Occasional study...
mis)interpreted ...

You missed the part where the raw data is still being questioned as well.

My OPINION - You are in the "ruling belief system" not the other way around.

My personal position on this issue has been posted before, but it has become all to common for the same tired info to be posted without the opposing point of views. If we don't look at all the info we wont have many worthwhile discussions.
