Refer to the diagram. Good science eliminates coincidences and crystalizes unarguable conclusions. Bad signs joins as many dots together as possible and calls it a theory.

Try and appreciate this if you want to progress to a sensible discussion. I can google thousands of articles that mention people imitating each other's behaviours around the world. Bad science would look at all the other coincidences they share, maybe they are all English speakers, maybe they are all educated, maybe they all share a similar gene?

Good science would see these as interesting curiosities but avoid using correlation as an explanation. Good science would note that all of them also share internet access. It would study what websites they visit, count how often these websites had shared content that they all mimicked. It would repeat this process as often as possible until it is an unavoidable conclusion that the internet is responsible for turbo charging trends.

What you have done is joined together all the dots you could find that fit into your picture of a unicorn. You have done science in reverse, or anti-science.

Blame the next planetary alignment if you want to, just don't expect intelligent people to join your crusade.

Try sorting this one out MoDribble! The source, one of your favourite Fact Checking sites (Reuters) and the US CDC. Its funny how the sites censoring the truth and sites promoting the juice are now warning of the dangers of the Juice.
