Which episodes are you having problems with Penn and Teller? And which data are you questioning?

I'd have to go back and rewatch to provide specific examples, but it wasn't the recycling one that I was thinking of. I think the one on the endangered species act, and the one of genetically modified foods both annoyed me. (GMO foods not because I have intrinsic issues with the concept, but because of the issues they avoided, about massive corporations having exclusive control over what gets developed, and how that affects the benefits and drawbacks that are considered acceptable). And with GMO foods, particularly, they found protestors on the fringe of the movement to critique, rather than also taking on the more mainstream complaints about it. I thought that was a cowardly approach, and unworthy of them.
