So do you think ALL science works like this--meaning that all science is just paid for by outsiders who want them to produce certain results--or just some science? And if it's just some science, then how do you distinguish between the "gangster" variety and the "real" variety? Further, in the gangster variety, how do you suppose they're able to maintain this on a global scale, being able to pay and convince almost all scientists (and all publications) in a field to produce the same results and preventing any others in the field from producing contradicting results? Seems like it require a massive amount of money and keeping everyone quiet about it, and I think with the latter you overestimate how likely it is for that many people to keep quiet.
