   There was a man recently discredited -- big story --   
   because he'd collect data and then just run through   
   it looking for anything it could claim it "Proved."   
      
   The data was real, btw. It's just that, instead of   
   collecting data to falsify or confirm a hypothesis,   
   he'd scour the data for anything on which he could   
   build a hypothesis. And this guy lost his job for   
   his unscientific methods.   
      
   No, this is not common. Comparing something to ITSELF   
   is not and never has been common. Comparing something   
   TO ITSELF and then pretending you found a difference?   
      
   NO!   
      
   No, this is not what we see in the case of butter or   
   anything else. This is pseudo science at best, fraud   
   at it's most accurate!
