Rarely does anyone have a problem presenting a majority position as the truth with no evidence.
We should be a little more forgiving of minority positions and a little less forgiving of majority positions, so that the truth can be determined more readily.
A reminder, at the start of the pandemic, the majority position was "Masks are bad". The "Masks are good" minority position had no evidence to back it up besides common sense, yet it is only through the efforts of those people fighting the conventional wisdom that the truth came out.
