Rather than take someone&#x27;s word for it, its quite easy for anyone to verify for themselves that the Cook study is flawed.<p>Read the abstract, and understand the premise... As was explained in the above postlink.  Then visit web of science and verify that claims are true, which you can do yourself.<p>If you do this, you&#x27;ll note that the skepticalscience website is misrepresenting the Cook study, whether on purpose or by accident.<p>Just because someone says that a thing is solid does not make it so.<p>I am always willing to change my mind, but not on anyone&#x27;s say-so.  Particularly given giant red flags such as the Cook study.
