make something up
- Dylan16807 5y agoWhat do you think they made up? You need to be more specific than "something", because I don't see anything in that post that looks like they just made it up. In particular, "People with Ph.D's often makes up facts and believes in nonsense just like everybody else." is definitely not something they just made up. And "just like everybody else" is not putting a particular group into a bag.

- username90 5y agoTo clarify, I trust research papers since they are a network of citations each reviewed by peers, not because they were written by researchers. So when someone cites papers they tend to be trustworthy and you can have a discussion. When they don't you can't trust them, you can still have casual conversations but you can't trust any facts. Them being a researcher or not doesn't matter here. In short: Trust science, not scientists.
