They also tend to dismiss off hand the exact same science that is used to find the frauds.
So when science find the frauds, the methods are good. When science originally classifies, the methods are bad.
Unless, of course, we are talking about, yet another, ark discovery. Then the methods are simultaneously good and bad for a single instance.
One think you will notice after some time here is that scientific articles that show facts counter to their narrative get flagged quite quickly, and anti-science propaganda meant to fuel distrust tends to have a very weird upvote to comment ratio on HN these days.
The mods blame the sheer mass of these bot networks vs the amount of mods, but the mods also simultaneously and seemingly intentionally limit accounts that make attempts to dispel the obvious disinformation being pushed through this platform.
