This isn't about not doing your research. It's a lesson in the pitfalls of thinking you've competently done your research..

Most people are incapable of doing their own research. It takes time and money to do studies. It takes years of training to define proper study parameters.

Many people are also incapable of doing a meta analysis based on reading studies and opinions on the Internet. It takes years to root out the mental fallacies that we seem to be born with. But at least many can do this.

Most people should find a trusted source or two and just read those.

Should say to have your research peer reviewed

They did it and were wrong but now they can be corrected
