The average person does not have enough evidence to refute that the moon is not made of cheese. That does not mean one should hear out a lunarcheesist.

- throwaway894345 5y agoMy argument is that we shouldn’t make drastic changes without ample evidence. Your moon cheese analogy doesn’t address this at all.
- co2benzoate 5y agoYou should still use common sense to determine courses of action when you don't have evidence.
