A Warranted Claim?

Public Orthodoxy: THE EUCHARIST, ITS PHYSICAL ELEMENTS, AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY by Hermina Nedelescu


The second misconception is the idea that viruses themselves cannot be transmitted via the administration of Holy Communion, which is scientifically incorrect.

The moral and scientific considerations presented by the essay are fine, but where are the studies giving evidence to this claim? Making a definitive claim like this requires actual science, not guesswork. So where are the comparative studies, not with viruses in general but COVID-19 specifically? Otherwise this seems like overstating one's case in order to yield a desirable conclusion.

One can draw a probable conclusion or precept based on possibilities and our ignorance and the law of charity - those are sufficient.

Oh really?

NYT: Internet Use Affects Memory, Study Finds

"The subjects were significantly more likely to remember information if they thought they would not be able to find it later. “Participants did not make the effort to remember when they thought they could later look up the trivia statement they had read,” the authors write."

How much money was spent on exploring what should be obvious? After all, memory does involve some volition, it's not "automatic."
