I wasn't directing that comment at you, quite the contrary. Just the world in general and the i-net in particular. Seems pretty common that when the facts tell one something that that doesn't fit with one's political position - just hell it is all a lie, and claim common sense for your own side, do it loudly and often and eventually, it will become the truth.

And yes scientists have lied. But not often and they have a long way to go to catch up to politicians. But science should always be questioned and tested = and generally speaking, it is. So, eventually, the liars and the cheats find themselves with their backs to the wall and that wall turns out to be in front of a firing squad.

How does this strike you for common sense? Globally, in about a quarter of the predator/prey interactions out there, the prey population is larger in the presence of a specific predator species than when the predator is absent.
