Logic Failure
Cases built on contradictory logic, paradoxes, or flawed reasoning. We investigate situations where official explanations contradict themselves, where cause and effect don’t line up, and where basic logic breaks down under scrutiny.
Why Brexit Regulation Could Not Function
The UK attempted to replicate complex EU regulatory agencies from scratch, but locked itself out of the necessary safety data. The result was a £2 billion bill for industry and the indefinite recognition of the EU's CE mark
The Failed Bonfire of EU Laws
The 2022 Retained EU Law Bill was designed to allow thousands of regulations to expire automatically. This was abandoned months later when the government realised it did not know what it was deleting.
Vitamin D – How a Calculation Mistake Shaped Global Guidance
The global Vitamin D standard was built on a confirmed calculation error. Corrected mathematics points to a higher dose, yet the official guideline remains unchanged.
The AlzChem Loop – Inside the Creatine Consensus Factory
Influencers call it a universal brain booster. European regulators rejected the claim. We audited the funding trail to discover why the science on social media doesn’t match the official safety records.
Creatine and Bipolar Disorder – The Manic Switch Risk
Clinical trials consistently exclude bipolar patients to sanitise safety data. This investigation tracks the suppressed signal of "manic switching" from the 2007 Roitman incident to the 2018 Toniolo confirmation, revealing a significant hazard for consumers.
The Vegetarian Gap – The Creatine Intelligence Illusion
The "universal brain boost" claimed by creatine marketing vanishes in clinical trials of healthy omnivores. An investigation into the gap between the vegetarian "deficit" and the omnivore "ceiling."
The Border Wars – Did Devon Invent the Cornish Pasty?
The law says a pasty must be Cornish. A 1510 ledger from Plymouth disagrees. We audit the medieval records that challenge the £300m PGI monopoly.
The Cornish Pasty Claim About an Arsenic Handle
The legend claims the crimp was a disposable handle against arsenic. However, archival photos show miners using ‘crib bags’ instead. We test this theory against estimated daily energy needs to see if the story is history or fakelore.
Cornish Pasty – The Ingredient Audit
The law insists on beef, yet 1862 wage logs prove the miner could not afford it. We audit the ‘pig economy’ to reveal how the PGI protects an upmarket feast rather than the working-class reality.
The Missing Outcome Data for UK’s Saviour Siblings
For two decades, the UK's fertility regulator has approved 'saviour sibling' procedures without collecting any long-term data on the children's well-being or the treatment's true success rate. Our investigation reveals an evidence void at the system's core.
