Settled vs Emerging again
Via UD, this paper reports on newly discovered salivary glands in the nasopharynx.

The glands were first noticed with MRI-type tech, then verified with minicam endoscopes in several hundred people, and found in two cadavers as well.

Okay. New stuff is always being found. This is proper science. Look about you, take hold of the things that are here.

New tech shouldn't have been necessary. Cadavers have been dissected and mapped for 2000 years in great detail. Pre-minicam endoscopes using mirrors should have spotted these glands.

If something this obvious has been right there in plain sight, never spotted by ordinary doctors looking up noses with mirrors, and never spotted by anatomists over thousands of years, why should we trust and obey anything?

If the new details overturn the old settled knowledge, then the old knowledge wasn't worth obeying. If the new details don't matter much, then the new details aren't worth obeying.

SETTLED and EMERGING are both fakes. As usual with Deepstate actions, the real question is deeper than the point we're arguing about.

The real question isn't about the validity of scientific findings, it's about the OBEYING.

Science was never meant to be tyranny. Science was meant to be ENTERTAINMENT, and we should treat it as such. Science should be crowdfunded by season ticket holders who enjoy watching the drama. Science should NOT be funded and weaponized by governments.

The USEFUL parts of science are still funded by season ticket holders. Auto makers pay universities to improve the performance of suspension systems. Farm associations pay universities to develop new varieties of wheat or fruit. Rich dudes pay researchers to look for extraterrestrial signals. The ticket holders aren't required to obey the results of the study, and they don't arrest ordinary citizens who disobey the results. They just watch and learn.
