What happened then was that - of course - each evidence was dismissed, as every study wasnt quite exactly with the exact study participants desired, the measurement not exactly as wished for - and probably the moon phase not exactly as hoped for. In short, probably no study in the world could hold up to the ecological/external validty demanded. One of the oldest tactics to dismiss scientific evidence. At that point, I still gave the benefit of the doubt that my evidence wouldnt be strong enough and soon be refuted by counter-evidence.
