The game's problem's go far beyond the craptastic Deus Ex Machina
logic devoided ending that we recieved as the game plays more like a first

Moreover, the paper gets its history wrong when it notes that «Total cancer mortality rates did not decline until 1990, 25 years after the identification of the
effect of smoking on lung and other cancers...» Well, actually, it was more like 50 years, because the earliest studies to connect smoking and lung cancer were conducted not by NIH - funded scientists but by Nazi scientists in the run - up to World War II.4 By the
logic of the PNAS paper, then, ought we to be crediting the Nazi health science agenda with whatever progress has been made on reducing lung cancer, rather than the incredibly protracted and difficult public health campaign (that, for the most part, NIH had nothing to do with) aimed at getting
people to cut down on smoking?
