Er, it's credible to me because it's the Department of Energy. I don't "want" to believe it, and generally believe folks who were touting it as fact up to this

Er, it's credible to me because it's the Department of Energy.
I don't "want" to believe it, and generally believe folks who were touting it as fact up to this point were cranks. Even now it's still extremely murky, and as I said, there are a lot of unanswered questions.
- wahnfrieden 4y agowhy is it credible to you when you can as easily find contrary positions from other us govt agencies? what makes a "low confidence" doe take more credible than the other agencies to you
- Zetice 4y agoHm, so the way I'm using "credible" here is as, "able to be believed". So I find the DoE and therefore the idea credible. It doesn't mean I do believe it, or that I find other, contradicting positions "uncredible" (incredible? lol). The DoE is just an institution I trust, and if they're willing to publish this, I'm willing to listen to what they have to say.
- Vecr 4y agoI've heard through channels that the opposite of "credible" is "non-credible".
