Agreed! It’s just unfortunate people just as often use “it’s hot where I am” to prove climate change. But they get a pass because they’re on the correct side.

Which "people"? This is a strawman.

>they get a pass because they’re on the correct side.

You know what, if you read an Addition Table, and memorize that 2+2=4, but you don't know how to reason it out from the base principals, field and ring theory, geometry, etc? Sure you get a pass. The experts have done the math many times, and you can trust them.

If you want to tell me 2+2=5 because you found an table from an Addition Denier online? Then yeah, you're going to be ridiculed.
