Quite a lot, if they hold power or influence. One word: Antivax.

This is why it's always OK to call BS. Sometimes you're calling BS, and sometimes you're spouting it. Debate works until it doesn't, and then you get out.

Antivax movement is ignorance of proven science. Expressing the opinion that hackathons are bad is debate.
