> "Trust the science" is dumb, but "trust that the single-most reviewed medical studies of the past decade with 30k+ participants aren't outright bullshit" is enough for me.

What does "aren't outright bullshit" translate into in quantitative (%) terms?

I'd say bullshit means data that's worthless, because it's fabricated, collected by P-hacking, or otherwise means nothing. There's no useful quantitative measurement that tells you more than "Professor Bullshit just filled out random junk in Excel."
