Precisely. Yet again we see this "strawman technique" where the establishment seeks out the worst (from a truth standpoint) of the claims being made about organic food, and then launches a "debunking" campaign to attempt to discredit the notion of organic farming in general.
Where I get annoyed with "the scientists" is that few of them seem to be making an effort to correct the blatant misreporting of their studies.
This type of crap is exactly why I keep beating the dead horse of learning about logical fallacies. If people do not understand how to think, can they really be trusted to know what to think?
