Okay fair. And I just remembered something during my research that strengthens your point—there are a few papers critiquing the neurotoxic effect of organophosphates. And if memory serves all of them were authored by and/or sponsored by the pesticide industry. So there is pre-existing industry pushback!
I briefly worked in a research consortium which worked on the EUs precautionary principle, which is under attack by industry: they’re basically raising the bar for evidence and definitely push back against regulation a lot.
