From article:
Quote:"I have always been excited to learn about how evolution works, but disappointed by our lack of tools to study it quantitatively," Levy says. "This caused a big chasm between what theorists were capable of predicting and what biologists could actually measure. I saw this project as an opportunity to narrow that chasm, just a little bit."
This chasm could slam shut and they'll still simply deny it. It's as simple as not putting in an honest effort to understand the material. Refusing to do so allows them to cherry pick the bits they like (medications, yearly fly shots) from the bits they don't like, largely based on feeling. Much the same way they do with their religious texts.
