“scientific” studies tend to produce the finding which was sought after when the funding was approved
“Tend to” is putting it mildly. It’s almost 100% because of the natural tendency of the funding entity to drop funding when the study’s initial findings are going against them.
I don’t doubt what you say at all, I was attempting to restrain my natural tendency to overstate which has been pointed out to me by some people in the past ;>)
