This article had been used as evidence to pass a law, but upon further study of the article we found that the way the studies had been done did not exactly prove the point that the article made. The experiments which had been done had cut a lot of corners which skewed the evidence allowing for the point to be made. This made me think about how I will know whether an article is being completely truthful or not? How are we able to kee...
