When someone says „Scientists do not want you to know“ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.

Reminds me of that joke

Child to his biologist dad:
"Dad what's an electron?"

Dad: "Why don't you ask your mom, she's the physicist, electrons are her wheelworks."

Child: "But I don't want to know *that* much about it."

My dad is a microbiologist and I quickly learned to caveat my questions with a "if it involves something that will gross me out I don't want to know (right now)" Ex. I still regret the day I asked what "particulate" means re: stench of a dead rotting body (reading a Dr. Kay Scarpetta CME novel)
