I think this author is in fact correct that science isn’t typically concerned with absolute, eternal truths but rather circumstantial truths or whatever hypothesis best maps onto available evidence. One of the hallmarks of critical thinking is being able to move past black-and-white reasoning. Critical thinking entails comprehension of the ambiguity and gray area present within most debates. Any individual who feels as though there exist ideas which are irrefutable even in the face of many other similarly viable explanations is clearly not thinking rationally. I’m sure radar has indeed recorded objects in the air going very fast and turning rapidly, but as mentioned in the article, there is likely additional context which has been omitted. Thus, I don’t feel any need to fact check this individual, as there is no need to verify such a vague claim which lacks almost any context whatsoever. Hopefully both author and reader understand that claims made without context or citations are not meant to be interpreted as authoritative, definitive examples. |
