> The public should confront all claims - no matter the source - with ample skepticism and indeed an assumption that the information is likely false unless proved otherwise. I'm 100% for parodies, but this is a nearly impossible burden for the public. For example, if you don't have medical training, how would you go about proving a medical fact? You could spend years educating yourself and doing experiments, or like most people you could find a source that someone else recommends (a friend, Google, etc.) and choose to trust it. We don't prove the fact ourselves, we just assume that someone else before us proved it, but we can't verify their proof as we often don't have the knowledge, time or tools to do so.
