Oh please don't give me the "le multiple studies in bio" argument. By that logic magic mushrooms and witchcraft are far more reliable due to 'working' for centuries. The field is full of reproducibility crises and follow the leader herd mentality, chemistry, even bio-informatics maybe, but bio as a whole, eesh...
