My main paint, which I mention in many of my posts about this topic, but sometimes forget to include, is that there are peculiar signs in the data, and that these signs have to be acknowledged, followed up on and investigated, and some conclusions have to be drawn by people with the expertise to do so, and they have to be transparent about how those conclusions were drawn.

Instead everyone is sticking their head in the sand, except right wing pundits, who I think are all idiots and drawing their own incorrect conclusions because they aren’t experts.
