I tried to be clear with my language -- apologies if I did not succeed.
My intention is not to spread it, but to describe it because I think it's useful to understand the narrative. You cannot disagree with something you do not understand.
There's a faction of resistance which is neither shrill, nor obviously stupid, and they have coalesced around a narrative that is constructed in a way to be very compelling and frightening.
It's either an elaborate effort, or it's the natural result of smart people not trusting evidence, and extrapolating into authoritative-sounding "maybe"s.
In short, classic "bullshit".
But it would take someone more learned than I, to argue on merits. The promulgators of this narrative have read the Wikipedia article on ADE, and insist that that narrative is flawed, for reasons I cannot contradict.
Personally, I don't believe it for a second, but my reasons are rather prosaic: IME the more elaborately-cooked the future scenario is, the less likely it is to happen, outside of fiction. Nature tends toward the non-dramatic. I expect to be proven correct over the next ~year.
