If such a repository existed ... it would simply be dismissed as biased by whatever side of the argument it "debunked" ;)

- brightball 9y agoThe only way to avoid that would be to highlight the parts of the discussion that hadn't been studied or couldn't easily be replicated. In my experience, most heated arguments are based on perceptions where there is a gaping hole because science either can't or hasn't completely answered the question yet. That stuff gets fueled by articles leaving out certain numbers to show a desired conclusion. True or False isn't the problem. The problem is avoiding key points that you have to already be knowledgable enough to realize what's missing. That's how people end up with "facts" that are still wrong. You leave out important information to reinforce a bias and it will get reshared as "fact". Happens all the time with any topic that's even a little heated.
