Scientists can and have been playing with statistics to get their desired results.

Been saying this for years. Particularly those "Scientists" being paid by industry for only the result that industry wants.

Science isn't always science, a lot of times it's just whores.

That's why legitimate, independent peer review is so important - and those conducting the review must conduct it with true science in mind. And for the rest of the community, we must demand peer review before something it accepted as scientifically valid.

There are institutions and publications out there doing legitimate science and applying legitimate critique. I think that presuming that none of it is legitimate is a dangerous and unfortunate place for mankind. If we mistrust everything, we won't be able to fully understand where we are and where we need to go.
