Just because someone tries as hard as they can and does the best they can doesn't mean they are right. The available info may simply be flawed (GIGO).

- a-priori 8y agoYes but the best people to judge what's garbage and what's not are the experts. Look I'm done with this thread. I've made my point, and your comment history shows you only post this sort of pseudo-intellectual nonsense. You represent everything that's wrong with this site.
- nonbel 8y agoNah, I just have the proper skepticism. You know, the idea behind science: Nullius in verba
- hannasanarion 8y agoNo, that is not how skepticism works. There is a humongous body of knowledge on the topic, and all of it is very well supported with an abundance of of evidence. Being too lazy to visit a library and educate yourself on a topic is called "willful ignorance", not skepticism. "nullius in verba" means you don't accept theories on authority alone. It means that you don't formulate a conception of gravity by thinking about elements for a while and then declaring that you figured it out, as Aristotle did, but by considering testable possibilities and performing experiments, as Newton did. "nullius in verba" does NOT mean you can throw out all of Newton's work as "words words words" because you don't feel like reading it.
