Read the post again please, and kindly refrain from continuing to distract from the original topic. Much appreciated.

Been holding my tongue on this particular topic. One week later, I fold. I concur with Ray that calling someone an elitist who is questioning the overall societal consequences of your original topic... using extract of oncidium as an ingredient in a facial mask... is not only an incorrect assessment, but also not real nice to calling someone a name because you disagree. How does that distract from the original topic? Is the topic here in the advanced discussion thread because you want discussion?
Patents for extract of Ondontoglossum and Ondotonia for a moisturizing use in cosmetics have been around since early 2000s. Dendrobium and derivatives from certain Dens have been a part of Chinese medicine for thousands of years, and now being researched by big pharma for quite some time.
When I was young, cosmetic companies regularly used animals as their testing ground for creating new serums for faces and bodies. I could go on and on about the topic, but for what purpose?
On point with your topic and subsequent comments as requested, I think the opinions about using an orchid extract for a facial mask (the extract is nothing "new" in the cosmetics world) is entirely appropriate discussion lent toward the "upkeep of humanity" in the Advanced Discussion forum. My thought is your analogy of "gray color lens to scrutinize all things at all times" is a misnomer. I'd say more of a clear focus lens is being used as the discussion point, as opposed to looking at it through gray or rose colored lenses.
If we don't scrutinize science as society, who will be the watch dog? Other scientists? That's what Advanced Discussions is about.
As a moderator, I can always move your thread to Off Topic or Orchid Lounge, if that's your desire.
