The problem with a website like Snopes is that, if you want to claim to be an unbiased gatekeeper of the truth, you better be perfect.
Since humans are imperfect, a site like Snopes can not exist.
- fitpolar 8y agoI don't know why this would get downvoted. Seems reasonable, whether it's Snopes or anyone. Similar to Apple claiming "it just works", you better make sure it works. Or Google proclaiming "don't be evil". Etc.

- fitpolar 8y ago> My Mac got a kernel panic yesterday. My response is not to swear off Apple products forever. Yet your response is to downvote everything you disagree with? Not swearing off Apple products forever is your personal choice. Personally I agree with that. But I know plenty of people who DO choose to swear off Apple products when something doesn't work. That's also their choice, and I don't have a problem with that.
- eridius 8y agoDid those people flee civilization to go live naked in a cave somewhere? No? Then no, their reaction to something not working is not to immediately swear off that entire product category forever. Because, sooner or later, everything fails to work correctly in some fashion.
