Hello, SSSheridan, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media.

Lab leak

On Talk:Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, you wrote: In case you're wondering what's driving me so hard, if not conviction, it's this: if the lab leak hypothesis is true --if the pandemic of the century was constructed by scientists -- then (among much else), there will be a severe crisis of public trust in science, which would (probably) be a Very Bad Thing.

This made me laugh because of the "if". Aren't you aware that it does not need to be true? If enough people push the idea, voila, "severe crisis of public trust in science". The funny part is that you are among those who are pushing the idea.

The goal of many scientific methodologies, from double-blinding to peer review, is to minimize the influence of scientists' opinions on the outcome of studies. Scientists' opinions are a source of bias, not a source of truth. So, emphasizing opinions contradicting the actual results, which are published in peer-reviewed publications, is a bad idea. See also Nobel disease. That is one of the reasons why we have WP:MEDRS. --Hob Gadling (talk) 10:51, 1 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
