That you're unable to even entertain the idea is the issue.

Sorry, what? "I am unwilling to entertain it for the Nth time" does not imply "I am unable to entertain it" or "I have never entertained it".

Because there’s a large group of people in our society who are aligned along that same “can’t trust science/politicians/MSM” axis. Gaining an understanding of, and empathy for, those people will serve you well and is important for society. Talking with them about why they think what they think is a good way to do that.
