See, that's the difference.

I do review evidence and make up my own mind, but I don't ignore any evidence that disagrees with me on the flimsy premise that the consensus is often wrong, so any studies that disagree with my view are as well. If a study shows something different, I'll take it into account when I make up my mind. But just as the consensus can be wrong, the minority is often just as wrong. Usually, the truth likes somewhere inbetween.

I also don't take statements facts and use them as an excuse to throw out unverifiable testimonials about dead friends or ridiculously irrelevant political statements.

I also know what I'm specifically talking about, so I'm not going to talk about cell phones causing more auto accidents and fatalities if we're talking about whether they cause cancer.
