Oh- I might not have been clear- I didn't mean to imply scientists would distort data- though I do think marketers and sales reps often rosey-up, "dumb-down", or oversimplify the facts for the public.

Ie, "depression is a simple chemical imbalance". That is only a "theory" per most doctors I've talked to-maybe true- maybe more likely it's actually a tad more complicated.

> Sorry, maybe that wasn't worded right-I meant the scientists aren't going to distort the data; they genuinely WOULD like to help...just about all of them, in my experience. The Big Pharma nonesense just occurs long after the developing chemist is out of the picture-remember, the chemist doesn't know he's synthesizing a psychoactive drug-he finds that out after it has been screened. These days, 100,000 potential drugs might be synthesized a day!
