re: #928 Bob Levin

Here’s where I popped in the discussion as well. I think, to be fair, there are more options than just misled or dishonest. Bob is right, but I’ll go one further and say that people who do honestly disagree with us are very good people to debate with, and some of my greatest intellectual opponents are neither stupid or liars.

The scientific community has always been riddled with the most contentious debate though, this is nothing new. I think Alfred Wegener (plate tectonic theory dude) died alone and penniless as an intellectual outcast on a glacier in Greenland. Only posthumously did everyone look up and say “hey, he was right!”
