You take a group of critical thinkers and expose them to a topic that many are experts in and they'll focus principally on fact rather than opinion. At the moment the released facts don't necessarily report the widely reported conclusion. It's of course possible that more compelling evidence exists but hasn't been disclosed. At that point it's a "just trust us" sort of argument though and I don't find it too surprising that the situation invites skepticism.
- balabaster 12y agoThe government has worn out goodwill for "just trust us." If you want the ability to be able to use the "just trust us" card, you have to prove yourself trustworthy and with the amount that's coming to light recently about the level of deceit within their ranks, that card has gone. They now need to have full disclosure to win back that goodwill. They can't have their cake and eat it too.
