Citation? Not even 97% of the scientists I know personally fit that description, and I've spent my entire adult life employed in public through post-graduate academia.

That was the funniest thing I've read in a long time. Seriously....it caused me to enjoy nasal coffee. Scientists are no more or less susceptible to outside biases than any other profession. I dare say, since quite a bit of (the bulk of?) the funding of their research comes from government grants and gifts from corportations with definite vested interests in ..shall we say...desired findings.... that perhaps research scientists may be bit MORE susceptible to outside pressures. You were kidding, right? Please tell me you were kidding....please.
