“you have been a parent who tends to punish your child, then you probably viewed it as making him “pay” for his mistakes. By now, you have realized that your child’s problem behaviors stem from emotional immaturity and a limited ability to cope. So making your child “pay” for acting out and wrongdoings is not really fair. Remember, your child did not choose to be born with emotional immaturity and inflexibility.”

“In their choice of stories, and the way they cover them, the media create a parody of science,’ Goldacre argues.19 ‘On this template, science is portrayed as groundless, incomprehensible, didactic truth statements from scientists, who themselves are socially powerful, arbitrary, unelected authority figures. They are detached from reality; they do work that is either wacky or dangerous – but either way, everything in science is going to change soon – and, most ridiculously, “hard to understand”. Having created this parody, the commentariat then attack it, as if they were genuinely critiquing what science is all about.”
