title: Winter 'cull' fails to shock.
abstract: It's all Ben Goldacre's fault. For anyone who has not read his Bad Science column in The Guardian (www.badscience.net), Dr Goldacre is an exposer of bunkum and quackery. Each week he analyses news stories that have an apparent medical or scientific theme - and rips them to shreds, revealing their persuasive statistics to be badly calculated or plain rubbish.
