When science clashes with beliefs? Make science impotent.

Okay, I’m telling you “read this”, whilst not reading what you’ve written above. Yes I know, it’s quite ignorant, but that’s how I am. And it’s how everyone here is…

Very relevant article. Probably fits a little better under title of
https://focusfusion.org/index.php/forums/viewthread/528/P15/
but it seems each thread becomes the same in the end – facts vs fiction.

Regardless of whether the information presented confirmed or contradicted the students’ existing beliefs, all of them came away from the reading with their beliefs strengthened.

Nobody has the time to go over all the information about a specific issue.
Hopefully some automated methods will come out to analyze information in the future,
but I wonder if in the end a denialist or scientific impotent would believe the analysis?
Edit:On the other hand scientific impotent is probably not the same as denialist,
where one does not understand science the other is cherry-picking facts.
