The collateral damage of tripe

The following is an excerpt.

The latest attack on science comes from a report from renowned anti-GM activist Judy Carman.  Number 2 on her ‘science’ team is Mr. Howard Vleiger, the guy that came up with the stunning corn data that likely are fabricated numbers. So his stellar credibility may follow him here.

Their paper has some nice points in that they finally start to use relevant numbers and measure lots of health parameters.  That’s good.  What is atrocious is the statistical massage (beating) and the overstepping of the data, as long as some severe flaws in experimental design. These have been discussed elsewhere and I might fill in some of the gaps later.

My big complaint here is different.  You are screwing “organic” stuff.
