I beg to differ - often it is not opinion which is being stated but
simply pure misinformation. Misinformation is very useful to those who
are trying to get someone else to buy something that they really don't
need. For example a $500 USB cable. Misinformation is also useful when
the true would lead to a situation which is bad for business. For
example the current anti-climate change disinformation campaign being
waged by the big oil companies.

In short science is good when it's good for business and science is bad
when it's bad for business. I love capitalism!
