See what happens when you LOOK? 2
As always, real science is the exact opposite of theories. Theories blind you to real science. Science happens AFTER you remove your theorigenic sunglasses and FUCKING LOOK at what's actually there.

Some neuroscientists removed their blinders and LOOKED... and found a direct drain channel from the meninges of the brain into the lymph system. Presumably it's always been there. Anatomists have been dissecting and diagramming the brain for 2000 years, but didn't see this.
That these vessels could have escaped detection when the lymphatic system has been so thoroughly mapped throughout the body is surprising on its own, but the true significance of the discovery lies in the effects it could have on the study and treatment of neurological diseases ranging from autism to Alzheimer's disease to multiple sclerosis. ... The unexpected presence of the lymphatic vessels raises a large number of questions, both about the workings of the brain and the diseases that plague it. "In Alzheimer's, there are accumulations of big protein chunks in the brain," Kipnis said. "We think they may be accumulating in the brain because they're not being efficiently removed by these vessels."Strikes a personal note. My father died of Alzheimers, which didn't seem to run in his family. He had always lived right, had always been perfectly healthy with one significant exception. Around age 55, his spleen got inflamed and had to be removed. It didn't cause any obvious problems; he didn't start getting sick or weak. But maybe it did cause a problem after all!
