This is personally offensive to me as a former University researcher.
To tell you the truth, it never occurred to me to fake, or shade the
meaning of any of my results, regardless how I got the money. The
glyphosate findings we have been talking about are mostly simple
technical matters, not nuanced interpretation. In effect, you are
accusing dozens of people of fraud.

As an ad-hoc reviewer and former Associate editor, I don't need to
wonder about this. The truth is we covet keen-minded iconoclasts.
University researchers are notoriously bad team-players, although they
often don't take the time to decently review a manuscript.

What findings are you speaking of? Let's talk about them. If they are
as speculative and idle as the musings in your post, they are not worth
Monsantos time and effort.
