Skepticism is merited after a certain volume of debunked claims.

  Partisans always 'debunk' every claim made that disagrees with them. It's not a meaningful signal.

    1. As a point of clarification, I'm not partisan, nor are the sources I had in mind. 2. There's a distinction between "debunked" and "claimed to be debunked"; you're conflating my meaning (the former) with the latter. If you did mean the former, then you're questioning all empiricism and objectivity, in which case we have no basis for discussion or reason and we may as well stop now.
