What dark money you think is behind pure research when that research is away from a topic that you have motivated distrust of the facts

You may not understand what you are saying. A paper is not "pure research". In fact, it's not research at all. A paper attempts to prove it's abstract and premise, as motivated by it's authors, the authors professor, and or funders involved. The only "research" involved is almost always clerical.

A paper is not "pure research".

Yes it is.

A paper attempts to prove it's abstract and premise

No, the abstract summarises the findings of the research.

The premise is not part of a paper. That's just something you made up.

You really think the abstract is crafted after the Main body of the paper? Boy, have I got some bad news for you.

The entire paper is written after the research.

You don't write "The most commonly preserved soft tissues associated with ornithischian dinosaurs are skin remains. The apparent resistance of hadrosaur skin to decay, and its abundance in the fossil record relative to that of other tetrapods, has been attributed to factors such as thickness and composition. Here we report additional intrinsic factors within hadrosaur skin: 3D-preserved eumelanin-bearing bodies, dermal cells and blood vessel fragments in an organic matrix composed of protein fossilization products. The skin is much thinner than that of living mammals of similar size. It is likely that the preservation of hadrosaur skin is related to the arrangement of the layers composing it."

And then go and look for the additional intrinsic factors described.

Boy, have I got some bad news for you.

Do you mate. What is this news?

Papers are typically written upon a base premise. You already know the conclusion, and you are trying to prove it.

The entire paper is written after the research.

Correct. After.

Oh FFS.

And for the paper on the dinosaur skin? What is the conclusion they were "trying" to prove?

I already stated my observations. Not that it matters, because we are way off topic now. Of course, that is where you took us.
