> Sure, but how does this work in todays era where feelings/opinion are considered by many to be the same as fact or at least valid support for an argument? Perhaps this happens on a larger scale now but I don't think this is anything new, just look at presidential debates, the "winner" is typically the better orator, not the person who cites sources and is factually correct. Go back just a few decades more and "demonstrably true" is a concept largely confined to mathematics.
