In fairness, there are guys* on this forum, with PhDs in chemistry, who formulate oil for a living. This is their area of expertise.
That’s not “baffling” with anything, except a deep understanding of the subject. If you’re not keeping up, if you’re feeling “beat down” - that doesn’t make them wrong. It just means you’re not keeping up. Relax. Read. Maybe learn a bit from them.
Agree to disagree?
On what?
If you told me something that was scientifically inaccurate, you don’t get to say, “agree to disagree”. There aren’t multiple “truths” on some topics.
So, no, I won’t “agree to disagree” on a basic understanding of how something works. And, neither should those experts in the field, many of whom have posted on the thread, who are explaining how things actually work.
“Agree to disagree” doesn’t apply here. That’s a settlement for an argument in which there are two equally valid points.
But in the area of technical understanding, of science, in this case, there aren’t multiple valid points. There’s only one right answer.
Astro, thats where sometimes people with too much knowledge go astray..*I am not among them. I fly airplanes for a living. But I do have a bit of background in Astrophysics, so I speak just a bit of science…and I will argue when someone is wrong on a topic with which I am familiar.
it is their approach
start to sound like ministers in a church
instead of throwing the facts out there, those ministers give people the impression the other person is going to hell
When maybe just maybe throwing the facts out there is really enough
non believers won't change or maybe they will change slowly..
Like me, I know enough about the subject to know a difference makes very little difference.
except to the ministers.
