When things are so clearly bullshit then the point of being 'open minded' about things that are done and dusted only serves to confuse and obfuscate. Take the US at the moment. A contry ripped apart by anti-scientific thinking. To be more specific, the origins of SARS-CoV-2 are still potentially unknown but if the overwhelming scientific consensus is that it has natural origin. So what does the purpose of dissenting voices, and the average joe seizing on one of these because 'it feels right'? It's the same problem that has lead to anti-vaccers - the unneecessary sewing of doubt where it is not their place to doubt. Stay open minded, ask important questions, but for gods sake, if you are not a scientist, recognise that those that are trained people who are doing much of the hard work for you. And scientific concensus is not going to be overturned by someone listening to the president on fox news or one outlier quack peddler
