Profit is profit. You may argue the degree, but the self-interests of everyone involved are aligned with the company making money.


What is wrong is that the researchers have a direct vested interest in
finding exactly what they found. And of course, that is exactly what
they found.

That's not convinving in the same way as saying because someone is a woman you can't trust their work.


The boy cried wolf when there was no wolf. I cry conflict of interest
and, lo and behold, there is a massive, obvious indisputable, blatant
conflict of interest.

You jump to the conclusion that the study itself is wrong and you have no proof of that. You take the easy way out and cry conflict of interest with no facts.

I don't understand why you would even try to say
otherwise.


It's a conflict of interest, but that's not enough not to believe a study.


Have you heard of the Emperor's new clothes? 

I am wearing them now.

Are you or have you ever been a communist? Great path you are following. 


I am not nor have I ever been a communist. I have no fear in answering
the question because I have nothing to hide.

Your principles are hidden. You should object to the question based on principle for what it implies.


Now, how about you, any financial interests to disclose? Where do you
work and what do you do?

I own lots of mutual funds, there is no doubt I have money in something related somehow. I guess I should end all intellectual persuits immediately.

interest(s).

Your irrationality on the subject indicates you are hiding something as well.
