an interesting thing nowadays is preprint servers -scientific research, not all of it, but certain areas, people are publishing stuff before it has been reviewed. The preprints are bound to contain many errors, but the scale of what is being done and instantly transmitted globally is amazing - the server below currently has over 2000 articles on Covid-19. So anyone working on something similar can take a trawl through the server and see what other people are coming up with. Many of the new developments in the news the journalists are looking through these servers for a scoop

Im sure there is enough papers on there to back-up whatever confirmation bias we have.

I still dont know what you're trying to say.  That there is enough papers out there to back up anyone's preferred point of view?

I was being a grammar Nazi, being petty

as papers is plural, I thought you should have used are

Your point about confirmation bias is valid, there is probably a raft of research on how often researchers search for material to back up their own work, particularly if they are up for funding

But instead you just wrote two posts of gobbledygook.  Guess that backfired somewhat?

I read Michael Caines Auto biography - Elephant to Hollywood....BTW excellent book  - he did one of these war films in some God forsaken country and the whole cast and crew went down with Dysentery....except him and his theory was.... he was swigging a bottle of Vodka a day at the time as he was a bit of a raging alcoholic and his theory was that the voddy made his body a wasteland for bacteria and killed pretty much anything that came near it.....got me thinking

Think that was "The man who would be King"  with Sean Connery, cracking film. K
