title: Schizophrenia: a scientific delusion with long-lasting computer virus-like action on human thought?
abstract: The recent report on dopamine D4 receptors in schizophrenia by Seeman et al is briefly reviewed. It is suggested that these data, especially when published in a high-impact scientific journal, provide experimental support for my views of schizophrenia as a scientific delusion and corroborate the following principle of Ludvig Wittgenstein: 'It belongs to the logic of our scientific investigations that certain things are indeed not doubted.'
