You may feel that facts are decided by consensus, but I will point out that Lister was correct when the entire medical community was wrong. Same thing with Einstein.
Numbers of people in agreement with each other are meaningless in regards to what is the truth. Rather than say "we outnumber you, ergo we are correct" ( a variation of "might makes right.) why don't you explain why their argument is valid?

Oh, that’s a simple one. Haven’t you been reading what I’ve been posting?
I haven’t said anything remotely resembling “we are correct,” nor have I claimed that their argument was valid. I haven’t once taken the position that “facts are decided by consensus.” You’re simply setting up straw men, and you’re not going to succeed in getting me to defend points of view that I’ve never expressed.
I’ve simply said that that the judges’ rulings represent the current state of the law, and nothing you’ve said seems to counter that in any way whatsoever.
