LOL...you gave me a link to a charity. AVERT is an international HIV and AIDS charity based in the UK Again I ask...how do you know which theory is "most accepted". May I see the voting results? And what does that have to do with anything...other than a poltical agenda? Science is not about consensus and groupthink. Consensus decision-making may encourage groupthink, a situation in which people modify their opinions to reflect what they believe others want them to think, leading to a situation in which a group makes a decision that none of the members individually think is wise Interestingly, the peer review process in most scientific journals does not use a consensus based process. Referees submit their opinions individually and there is not a strong effort to reach a group opinion. en.wikipedia.org
