Part of the reason for peer review is we can look at potential problems with the research or maybe even how to expand on it. Peer review is limited in scope though. Once you make information public, you have more eyes on it that may see an angle that wasn't accounted for or implications for future studies. We always have to assume that there is more, because there probably is. That's why we use old research to build on new research.
Anyway, you had no choice but to ask, because of being a product of the environment and all, just like you will have to respond to this since nature demands it.
Okay...
So.. how does the scientific method make it 'Wrong', then?
So what if I am a product of my environment?
You seem to be indicating that this leads to 'Deity' by fiat... some how?
Must admit your posting style leaves me more often puzzled than not.
Not at work.
It doesn't necessarily make anything wrong. But it doesn't guarantee that everything within a study is conclusive. Even when we're mostly certain of something, there is still room for error or adding new variables. We may also see journal articles that conflict. In which case, often you'll see additional studies that attempt to clarify the relationship(s).
