There's a reason peer reviewed studies are so important.

It's literally other people with knowledge on the subject questioning the results of a study until everyone agrees to the conclusion.

It's not just one person pulling something out of their ass and saying "Look! This thing!" and everyone just going along with it. It's questioned and proven multiple times.

  • I've gone to college. I've been taught buy people who are supposed to know this shit how to find scholarly sources. I've cited such sources in essays. Something I've never been shown are those peer reviews. Hell, it seems like half the experiments I was taught about in school come with a "And here's why we ethically CAN'T repeat this study" like the Stanford Prison Experiment.
