Of course there is shady meaning in the shade or not clear research!
The science itself is imperfect hence the unclear bit can be used to paint a picture!
I am sure most remember the governments research on global warming and the biased in accurate science that was used ?
I am sure the same occurs in medicine where a lot of gain is at stake ?
The perfect science would largely eliminate the drug companies as patients would be cured of things like cancer and HIV rather than being kept going!
If your saying your industry is not open to the pressures of others where science is used to make a case which itself leads to big money then I am surprised.
