Real science, that is.

I was in college a long time ago, and "peer-reviewed" was the standard. Only those articles could we cite to back up our arguments. Sure, we could toss in some anecdotal evidence, news reports, etc., if it supported the peer-reviewed stuff, but if something wasn't peer-reviewed it was generally ignored.
It's unfortunate because a lot of the new, interesting, and even weird stuff needs investigating, further research, and more discussion. You know, it needs more science. But academia will keep trodding along with their rekindled addiction to group-think and tribalism.
Luckily, we still have some independent thinkers among us, who stubbornly resist being ostracized.
