Bad science [electronic resource] : quacks, hacks, and big pharma flacks / Ben Goldacre.
I spend a lot of time talking to people who disagree with me--I would go so far as to say that it's my favorite leisure activity--and repeatedly I meet individuals who are eager to share their views on science despite the fact that they have never done an experiment. They have never tested an idea for themselves, using their own hands, or seen the results of that test, using their own eyes, and they have never thought carefully about what those results mean for the idea they are testing, using their own brain. To these people "science" is a monolith, a mystery, and an authority, rather than a method.
