Agreed 100%. However, doing that may depend on whether or not the vast majority of researchers are willing to cast aside the current blind spot they're working under.

I'm not sure about the ACS, but I've heard some questionable stuff on the CDC, and considering that I've seen evidence that WHO rewrote the African definition of the disease AIDS so that it doesn't...
