Correct. We're off to a good start!

Well, good opinions can be rooted in data, but yours are not. As you literally said a few posts up, you have not looked at data.

No, scientists don't draw opinions off data. They draw conclusions that are then checked by dozens of other labs and scientists in peer-reviewed formats. Nothing is verified until the peer reviews are complete.

Mostly about how you manage to function in life.

I'm guessing you've also never seen any data proving you need oxygen to breathe. So, I assume that's hearsay, too.

All you're saying is that you refuse to get informed on a topic that you choose to have opinions about.

This is fucking absurd. For one, the numbers inputted are vetted over and over again by scientists.

Nah, you're getting into justifying your own inadequacy.

I just provided a link to research to show that alcohol withdrawal is worse.

A little worried about your memory loss.

No because it's both. Inarguably. As proven. By thousands of scientists across the world. You just are too ignorant to look it up.
