Read the whole thing. Great insights like Bad science often pays better than good science. Theres more money in unveiling an invalid research study that is sure to show up in 200 newspapers tomorrow and start a anew diet crazy the day after than a methodically researched piece of work that demonstrates that staying healthy is a matter of hard work and other elements that are outside an individuals control. And The Cosmos crowd have always been eager to mock televangelists predicting the end of the world, but have little to say about Sagans equally bogus predictions about the end of the world. They made science into a culture filled with awe and wonder as if the universe were their own private church, while jettisoning the rational inquiry and reasoned debate.
