"obvious"

how do you even draw conclusions about something that happened years ago halfway around the world?

i get why it's a possibility, but is there really any evidence besides "it's obvious"?

because if not, it's better to just have no conclusion than going with your gut obvious one here. it's not like it's actionable - it's okay to not have any conclusion at all.

But I think you hit the nail on the point that “it is actionable”.

You argue any such conclusion is not actionable. But it is, and to make example, one can imagine that senators will be more circumspect in sponsoring labs to do this kind of work. If no one held the opinion, they wouldn’t care a hoot.

Is it a certainty? For sure it’s not. But having opinions is worthwhile.
