Date: 2025-11-12 01:20 pm (UTC)As to the last one, it's a little bit weird. Of course, those "British scientists" are just comic book heroes for the media. But insisting on "general consensus of scientists", which this #7 does, is also stupid. Virtually no media reader can tell the difference between "consensus" and the latest, maybe revolutionary, physics achievements and discoveries. Even the physicists. If they could, it could be already an "established fact". But Dunning/Crueger successfully prevent average humans from having any meaningful opinion. We are just a "general public", and we should shut up and listen. Not to the media, though.
