The Book Switch Theory

[asteckley]

This simply isn't true, and it's what makes these discussions so difficult. There is a scientific consensus, and then there are competing theories. But those do not stand on the same footing.

This is very reminiscent of various claims pushed around in the U.S. these days; whenever a particular dogma must be enforced, the term "scientific consensus" gets pulled out. The only "scientific consensus" regarding the VMS is in the minds of a limited group of people who consider themselves more enlightened about the subject than anyone else.  But, in the end, actual evidence will outweigh zealotry.
