This is what you get with “evidence be damned” people
Just claim, no evidence required
Is there evidence against your claim? Just completely ignore it, act as if it doesn’t exist and ridicule those that remind you there is evidence, and you’re golden!
Quality of evidence matters, too. There was a study popped up on Lemmy yesterday and I looked at who paid for it and the methodology, and it was quite questionable, but people commenting acted like they’d put fingers in the nail wounds of the risen Christ. Confirmation bias is real.
