    I don't like who funded this, therefore the conclusion is suspect.

    That's a genetic fallacy.

    Scientific claims should be evaluated by evidence rather than by identifying a villain behind the funding.

    Suppose you follow the money and discover that the research was funded by an organization you consider trustworthy. Does that make the science good? If not, then following the money isn't actually what determines whether the science is good, is it?

    Me? Defeatist. And you meant that unironically didn't you... 😂
