"We have no fucking idea how to do what they've done and we haven't done it ourselves, but please keep paying us to figure it out rather than learning from them for free."

I normally side with scientists, but they need to shut up and sit down, on this one.

I'll accept "pick which old person you take advice from, many are assholes." as a fair bit of advice, though.

It's the wrong phrasing but the right take. We shouldn't take anecdotal advice about being healthy.
