So, since all research is paid for by *somebody* with biases, why
pay attention to any of it?  If it's "generally well-recognized"
that you can make research support any conclusion you want, why
does anyone take research seriously, and why does anybody do
research?  Could it be that the researchers are not in on this
generally well-recognized truth?
