This is a prime example of Asimov's quote: "Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.'"

Well, at which extent this applies to our current case ? Or is it just a way to look smart, by just citing a famous reference without contextualising to our current issue ?

Alevskaya talks about their experience as a biologist, and what their take is on this paper. And your response was, “I don’t understand any of that, so there’s probably nothing there to understand”.

This is not what i said. i suggest you to understand what you read.

first the guy claims he is a scientist and continue with some obfuscated babbling mixing emotional tone and hazardous outcome. Which at first and second read, isnt a scientific neutral analysis and critics.

Therefore it left only the "trust me bro" posture. Which is far from beeing efficient at all.

Just because you’re unfamiliar with molecular biology doesn’t make it obfuscated babbling.
