> UFO Mania Is Out of Control. Please Stop. Sorry to disappoint you, this science writer says, but there’s zero evidence of aliens. Great example of (argumentum ad ignorantiam / appeal to ignorance) fallacy: > This fallacy occurs when you argue that your conclusion must be true, because there is no evidence against it. This fallacy wrongly shifts the burden of proof away from the one making the claim. There's of course no evidence that there are aliens, but this dude needs to find another hobby because the way this article is written oozes bullshit and clueless pretentiousness. The cherry on top, from the wikipedia page of this "Joel Achenbach" character > On January 10, 2018, The Washington Post suspended Achenbach for 90 days because of what it called "inappropriate workplace conduct" involving current and former female colleagues.[4] After the conclusion of the suspension Achenbach returned to work as a reporter for the Washington Post. Somehow, just from reading the first couple of a paragraphs of this article, I got a feeling that this dude is a sleazeball.
