The primary literature is a huge waste of time in so many cases though. It can be really frustrating. IF there's not a problem in one of hundreds of representational practices, you can find out later there was some other compromise (and some are HUGE) of the data or methodology.

And then if you point out a problem with a research undertaking or study when it is brought up, you can get some set of true-science-believers looking at you like it can't possibly be. It's unreal sometimes.

It's really no wonder people spread their subjective experiences as if they are science. Institutional "science" is great as a set of models and perspectives, but when you dip into the product you can start to wonder if you are effectively doing the equivalent of product research by watching the home shopping network.
