Whilst I generally disagree with the OP (I think its a dangerous and poorly informed simplification of a very complex issue), I can't let the oppertunity pass by to mention my favourite scientific experiment ever.
The rosenhan experiment
This guy is a fucking Boss. He arranged to have a number of perfectly sane people, including psychiatric doctors, students and others admitted to mental hospitals with the brief that after their initial report of symptoms, they could be as sane as they liked and should get themselves discharged as soon as possible.
One of them took 52 days. And only then got discharged when he admitted that he HAD been ill but was now better.
The experiment sought to prove that the profession could not know when people were well.
This outraged one institution who said such errors would never be made by them. So Rosenhan issued the challenge that he would send a number of imposters over a 3 month period and see if the medics could catch them out.
Over the next 3 months the hospital identified 41 people it believed to be acting, and 42 suspect. In fact Rosenhan hadn't sent anyone at all.
This, he said, showed they could not know when people were sick!

A fucking BOSS!
Oh and as an added fuck you, the people who DID detect the imposters were not in fact ill?
The other patients!!
