A lot of weirdness going on in this thread. Nothing egregious, just a lot of attempted gate-keeping.

That's all fine, since this is in Free Thoughts.
Although, you should know a few things about your "mainstream science guys":
- if you ask for their opinions, you should not be surprised if you get evidence-based responses
- they don't take well to gatekeeping. Generally, accurate science responses require breaking away from the - often confused - preconceptions of the asker, because it's usually necessary to set them straight on a few misconceptions.
- they take a dim view of being told that they are pointlessly arguing - while being pointlessly argued at (
post 65 indicates that the tone of this thread is going to be combative).
