re: Have you ever wondered where that "97% of all scientists" assertion came from?

quote:Yeah. I mean meta-analyses are a powerful tool, but they've somehow managed to use a tool that improves OBJECTIVE research to make it worse making it into something subjective.
The other problem is that it's 97% of all papers, not all scientists. And it's not even that, it's 97% of all papers expressing an opinion (since there are lots of papers that focus on the effects and therefore don't contain an explicit statement of the cause).
