There is good science and bad science, and sometimes a person just to rely on common sense to figure it out for himself. And though common sense seems to have a bad reputation around here, I think that many of its detractors will find occasions in life - lots and lots of them - where jumping up and down and waiving a science report around isn't going to do squat for them, while on the other hand just a thimble full of common sense will pull their keester right out of the fire.
