"Bad faith actor" is different from someone who is simply unfamiliar with the material, uneducated, or skeptical for good faith reasons.

Bad faith actors will act in bad faith, we all know that. But yes, you should go out of your way as a scientific body to explain your conclusions to good faith skeptics and people who want to understand your material. And I think that bar goes higher the more bad faith actors you have in your field.
