**Moderator Warning**

I’ve already pointed out that questions about moderation belong in ATMB, not here, and given instructions to stick to the topic of the thread. If you think the thread is in the wrong forum, report it (which you haven’t done). This is an official warning for violating moderator instructions. Don’t do this again.

In any case, since this is a discussion mainly about scientific validity, I think it belongs in GQ.
