  • Rough month for the people who deny scoliosis genetics and tout GIGO studies!

    OMG.

    When it rains it pours.

    It is possible to not even be a little bit right.

    I expect there to be a lot less nonsense posted on these topics going forward. We will see.

      No that was a reference to the two threads I started this month, one an elegant set of studies pointing towards a particular gene and the other blowing the Danish GIGO study out of the water.

      Those two threads alone and all by themselves SHOULD shut down a significant fraction of the nonsense that gets posted in the research forum on these topics.

      This thread is pure gloating over the disproving of anti-science claims. You should delete it as moderator. LOL.

          Yes. Scoliosis is genetic and heritable. That seems like one of the genes involved. The pattern of inheritance is complex possibly because there are several genes involved and due to environmental influences.

          I understand people who need to deny scientific facts for emotional reasons. But they should keep their addled anti-science views to themselves and not post nonsense to public fora.
