Forget it, you cannot educate the willfully ignorant, or perpetually self assured. As one of my medical school professors described a colleague of mine — often wrong, never in doubt...
I’ve been around here for a long time and I can honestly say that I’ve never seen so many supposed ‘reasonable’ people lose their minds. It’s as if they are hoping and praying for a worst case scenario and the facts be damned. It’s exactly like the climate change idiots! No reasoning as all.
Thanks for injecting some sanity into this discussion...there are some of us left that still appreciate science and intelligence.
