Estimating the quality of a product from the manufacturer’s track record is not.

Very interesting. I believe that this is evidence that the reality we think we know is still yet to be discovered.
But your individuality and your present need will be swept away by change, 
and what you now ardently desire will one day become the object of abhorrence. 
~ Schiller - 'Psychological Types'

Only the Tardis can hold more shit.
It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.

He's a modern day snake oil salesman looking to make a name for himself and a buck.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
