You know what else activates those chemicals? Practically everything. When scientists breed "knockout" mice without dopamine, the mice just stand there until they die of thirst, because there is no reward for.... living.

It contains more germs than a toilet seat!

Germs like moist surfaces. We don't want germs on our toilets, which is why we make them out of porcelain, which is hard, dry, non-porous, and easy to clean.

If it had more germs than your colon, then I would be concerned.

No comrade, Lamarck predicted epigenetics! /s

In reality they were all wrong to a significant degree and also usually contributed significantly to some aspect of what is taken for granted as the 'correct' scientific knowledge

For example, it's been known Mendel must have faked his data for almost a hundred years, but that doesn't make Mendelism wrong (after you strip out the stuff that is wrong)

"Fisher's analysis gave rise to the Mendelian paradox: Mendel's reported data are, statistically speaking, too good to be true, yet "everything we know about Mendel suggests that he was unlikely to engage in either deliberate fraud or in an unconscious adjustment of his observations".[71] Several writers have attempted to resolve this paradox."

Does Wikipedia have a license to peddle copium of this purity?
