For uncertain things, as long as the courage extends to all feasible (meaning, not outright disproven like flat-earth…) models then we’re in agreement.

What bothers me generally, is how one speculative theory dwarfs others when the scientists themselves will admit that there’s far more wiggle-room.

This has implications in funding and brainpower, hindering progress in the long run.

Yes, in case someone asks: The contrarian side where alt-theories include the outright disproven is also worrisome; but in HN at least everyone seems pretty bright and attentive to good science; far smarter than yours truly, certainly.
