Refuting bullshit is actually 10x easier than coming up with bullshit in the first place.
The reason people think it's the other way around is a testament to the power of appeal to authority.
- Sohcahtoa82 8y agoRefuting it is easy. Convincing someone that the bullshit they believe is wrong is an entirely different matter. See: Flat earthers, anti-vaxxers, and birthers.
- jancsika 8y agoActually what I wrote is bullshit. I have no idea what the average time is to come up with bullshit vs. average time spent refuting it. So color me convinced. On the other hand, it took me about 10 seconds to write the previous paragraph but about 100 seconds to decide how to word my initial bullshit. So I my initial bullshit stands. :)
