"For the most part we’ve been interested in the intellectual and cultural consequences of bad science, the made-up facts in national newspapers, dubious academic practices in universities, some foolish pill-peddling, and so on.

Ben Goldacre, who sounds like he's about to tell of
TMR's own
experience with NewAge murder, but (instead of talking about
"Dr." Robert Wohlfahrt) Goldacre goes on and on about the totally
unimportant story of his lawsuit with a European quack in Africa who was spreading AIDS to millions of equally unimportant black people -
or something - but all using really
Bad Science.
