The part which annoys me is about intentions.

Sure, lobby groups do pay off some people with a PhD to lie for them (Patrick Moore), that's not up for debate.

But to imply that this is the norm is just ignorant of how research is conducted.

Most scientists are either employed by a company, working towards a very specific, non contentious goal (like developing cold fusion), or are involved in research at a university, paid for in grants by their government to research whatever has been approved as worthy of investigation.

Nobody is pressuring these researchers to find evidence to support any particular agenda, the chips land where they fall. There's no fat cat smoking a cigar telling the climate science team at their local university that they need to find more evidence to crash the petrol stocks so they can sell more solar panels.

Or you could roll with the opposite method.

I prefer getting a finger cut off, as opposed to an arm.

Doesn't mean I want to lose my finger.

Ability to stop time.

As soon as you stop time, everything will go pitch black. The photons which refract off everything will be absorbed by your eyes instantaneously.

Assuming you could still see, it would be freezing everywhere as the heat would dissipate the moment you touched it.

Assuming you could still see, and wouldn't freeze to death, if you were to unfreeze time, the human-shaped vacuum tube you created while walking from point A to B would collapse violently, killing you, and anyone else standing close to it.

This also assumes that with time stopped, you can push microscopic particles around. If not, then any movement at all will make every molecule around you act as radiation, and and dust will feel like tiny razor blades, ripping through your body.

Also, the ability to stop time doesn't guarantee the ability to start it again.

Rich coming from a person who implied Apple innovated, when all they really did was be the first ones to assemble a consumer product out of already invented tech.
