Butterfly scandal?

On the other hand believing nothing because of lack of "proof" is what 
the Tobacco Industry has lobbied for years----and they don't seem to 
have trouble getting "scientists" to support their concept that "there 
is no proof" that smoking causes lung cancer. 

Maybe the phrase I learned decades ago: "be not the first to accept the 
new nor the last to leave the old behind" could serve as an analogy to 
when we gradually increase our belief in new information.
