"To cut to the truth of each argument, I made peer-reviewed science the ultimate authority. There's no higher standard than evidence-based research conducted by experts, which is then rigorously scrutinised by other experts."
Or to paraphrase this little gem more correctly...
To cut to the truth of each argument, I made cult-authorized publications the ultimate authority. There's no higher standard than desired-result-based "research" conducted by fellow-cultists , which is then rigorously scrutinised by other fellow-cultists."
That does seem to represent tha conditions more factually...
