I assume it was flagged because unless you're already a true believer, "look! this falling building is falling according to the laws of physics" is not a very strong argument.

"Study finds political bias skews perceptions of verifiable fact"

7 @ g for 2.25s is a verifiable fact from one of the most prestigious standards making bodies on the planet. There are tutorials on reproducing that NIST measurement.

You seem to be not surprised it's flagged, and you bring up belief. Why?

Believer of what? Argument of what?
