I mean, those two things aren't mutually exclusive. I can believe the science AND ALSO engage in behaviors it says are unhealthy for me.

That's not a scientific thing tho ! Proven to have no effect in fact.

Proven*

Samples sizes are always small, confounding variables poorly controlled and control groups often contaminated.

Long term effect are also poorly studied.

I thought the blue light was the problem.

I agree. I believe science but I seriously think the BIPM (Bureau International des Poids et Mesures) is wrong. They made SI bad by glossing over the necessary base unit of angle, there should be 8 base dimension, not 7.

Except it's not a unit, it's a unitless ratio. You'd have one for every number of dimension. The mol is arguably the extra one.

I seriously disagree with you, your you're wrong.
