As for a doctor who set out to disprove something and became convinced, that is basically an appeal to authority... not that that's necessarily wrong to do in the right contexts, but why should I give his conclusions more weight than the conclusions of (say) the paper we've been discussing?

Actually read the last article in the post before replying...
You wanted evidence, I post some items up for discussion and you slam it before you actually even read it. So obviously you don't really want to consider a different potential answer from what you believe is right...and that's fine.
