   "YES, cherry picking is the sign of a superior mind.  :("   
      
   But not of superior science.  And the "superior" "mind" as self defined is   
   worthless, no?   
      
   "Objective observations are the bedrock of Science.  It is about time that   
   you finally figured that out."   
      
   You bet, now if only we can get some in the cold vit. d discussion beyond   
   self reports of an individual, which "data" is worthless in science also.

   forth on things you know nothing about.   
      
   Statistically speaking, more people catch colds during the winter than they   
   do in the summer time.  This phenomena has been observed to occur over and   
   over again, for a season.  And, that reason is obviously vitamin D!"   
      
   Sure, it's an idea, but it has to stand in line behind the scores of good   
   ideas science produces each day and the seasonal observation is not new   
   either.  Unless confirmed it is just another "could be" idea.   
      
   To repeat my own self experience, it has been so many years since I have   
   had a cold or the flu I cann't recall when it was.  My self report just   
   cancelled out your's in the statistical sense of things, no?
