If DBTs don't prove anything, why are they accepted by peer-reviewed

Could it be that the real scientists have a different standard for
what constitutes proof than you do? And whose standard should we
trust, in that case?


You are right. We should trust the scientists and the peer review
process for giving us the highest standards for proof. One should also
note that one paper. one reported set of tests etc does not
constitute a meaningful *body* of evidence.
