I acknowledge that people with a strong OPINION (nothing more, nothing less!) towards dairy butter soap don't enjoy it to be faced with the accusation of incomplete research and ignorance. But alas, that's what they chose to do. I will not challenge this decision (tough I personally find it very unprofessional). I will only remind everyone that prejudices have always been a bad advisor for finding and pushing the boundaries of the knowledgeable. What else than a prejudice is it to not even attempt to extend the theory behind butter soap smell to include all (and not just selected) anecdotal evidence?
Everyone is free to deliberately withhold experimental evidence that doesn't fit into one's mindset. But don't act as if this had anything to do with science. Don't claim predictive power. I cannot understand why some people here are so fond of damaging their reputation of rigor, by being prejudicial, and dismissing contradictory evidence by lame ad hominem arguing.
Like said, I don't want to restart the dispute. I just want to tell you that you not only insulted me, but also the scientific method as such. To my knowledge, nobody has bothered yet to explain to the world what makes my own findings fundamentally flawed and worthless.
I want that a few more people dare to not confuse anecdotal reports with natural laws. Maybe one or another do their own research (reading and/or experiment), and realise that there is an important difference between reality, and the incomplete picture we're making up of it from the limited number of our observations.
