"Somers follows a bioidentical protocol developed not by a doctor, not by a scientist, but by this woman, a former actress named T.S. Wiley."

T.S. Wiley: "My credentials have nothing to do with the issues in women's health."

Dr. Nancy Snyderman: "Why not?"

Wiley: "Because..."

Snyderman: "You're an anthropologist and you're trying to alter the course of women's health. Your credentials very much come to the front line."

[Parenthetically, taking some classes in college and buying a membership to the American Anthropological Association do not make one an anthropologist.]

Wiley: "Oh I don't think so. Do you think you need a license in this country to think?"

Snyderman: "Ah, that's not what I said."

Wiley: "That's credentials. I don't need a license to think."

Translation: "I can advocate and sell anything I want to. I can prance around the country claiming credentials that don't stand up to the slightest scrutiny, but when challenged I'll claim that credentials are meaningless. I can call myself a scientist when I'm not, call what I'm selling scientific when it isn't, and ignore any and all evidence whenever I find it inconvenient. No matter how many women report that my ideas and products have made them sick, no matter how many experts in medicine and science and no matter how many people I've worked with in the past think that what I'm doing is dangerous, I choose to think otherwise. It's my right. Back off."

It's gangsta science.

Snyderman: "What happens if you are oh-so-wrong?"

Wiley: "I think a more important question is what happens if I'm right."

Snyderman: "Well the downside of being right is not so bad. The downside of being wrong could be disastrous."

Wiley: "The downside of my being right, on the system as it stands, is huge."

Translation: "I don't care to talk about my responsibility here -- any possibility that I'm mistaken, that what I'm selling could be sickening women or worse. Let's talk about all those who have studied medicine extensively and let's imagine that they're afraid of me. I'm revolutionary!"
