Actually that's not entirely true (I can address this if you want but TRUE dormancy isn't nearly as common as people think) BUT it doesn't matter if there is a precedent. I expect more than just a good guess when it comes to SCIENCE. Especially when some jagoffs guess was accepted as fact for what? Over a decade?
Anyway, my bitch is that there is far far far too much shoddy "science" in the medical field and the entire field is far too forgiving of it. I'm not some anti-science weirdo who believes in crystals or chiropractors or other voodoo bullshit. Quite the opposite, I just want better, HARDER science with my medicine.
P.S. as I stated that is not MOLECULAR BIOLOGY unless you want to state (which is true) that everything can be REDUCED to molecular biology.
