Talk:Critical Scientists

Title choice

When it comes to scientists, I don't think that Free-Choice Scientists (or pro-choice scientists) is the right title for this page. I believe that these scientists (at least those I am more aware of) are denouncing some (or all) of the lies and manipulations of the tobacco control industry without necessarily being all free-choice. I believe that a title more along these lines would be more appropriate. How about Scientists challenging the anti-tobacco tactics ?

It is correct that these scientists are not necessarily "free choice"; their critique and denunciation of the lies and manipulations used by the tobacco control advocates has is likely to have it's roots in what used to be of great worth: scientific integrity. Perhaps this: "scientists questioning anti-tobacco tactics and methods" may more to the point.

Perhaps "scientists critical of anti-tobacco tactics and methods"? "Questioning" implies "challenging" - these scientists see the that scientific integrity has been compromised and voice their critique rather than challenging anyone directly. Well most of the scientists do, although Prof Ropohl and Prof Grieshaber do challenge them.
