Scientists, however, need to be a little clearer. They need to know if exposure to a toxin always makes people sick or only sometimes. They need to understand if a nasty symptom can be caused by one virus or several. It’s not enough to simply say that one thing causes another.

Lynch is known for saying all sorts of hilarious things, but perhaps his best work came during Super Bowl Media Day in 2015.
