People are so enamored and infatuated with scientific jargon. A doofus idiot with no peer review can still be right about something. There are also serious issues with the peer review process, in that a group of people who already have conclusions they want to be true and all agree with eachother peer review eachother's papers. So even if it had the pedigree of peer review, that wouldn't necessarily be meaningful.

Why not actually engage with what is said in the paper, rather than saying "well because of this, I don't have to contend with it at all." while plugging your ears? Give it the benefit of the doubt and actually read what she said. It "has been used" to support "dangerous misinformation". So, other people who are not the author have used it to spread "dangerous misinformation". No specifics at all about what is dangerous or inaccurate, and their gripe isn't even about the paper or the author, but that other people are using it wrongly. Science will never move forward with this kind of paranoid censoring. The vast majority of scientific theories are wrong, the whole point is that they should all be consumed and considered and the right answer eventually teases itself out. Their conclusion that it "spreads dangerous disinformation" could itself be wrong. Maybe it doesn't, maybe it's right. She has serious credentials, it should be seriously considered.
Perhaps it was brought to their attention by someone with more expertise? I assume someone on the faculty?

But let me get this straight... She has her M.A. (probably a policy application degree like mine) and since her point reflects your worldview it needs to be considered? And yet you're so dismissive of actual expertise when it conflicts with your world view.

"Actual expertise" is just code word for the extant power structure that doesn't want to see their narrative assailed.

Seek Christ

Hope this helps.

You completely evaded literally every point I raised. You have a blind faith in "expertise" as if experts can never be wrong, and dunces can never be right. I'm simply saying that it is worth consideration, this is how the scientific method works. Literally einstein wasn't taken seriously at first because he didn't have "expertise" and was a patent clerk. Then after about ten years, he turned out to be completely correct in his assertions.

Their beef with her conclusions was extremely nebulous and vague, they didn't even attempt to explain *how* it is spreading misinformation or why it is dangerous. They just shat out some scary words and called it a day. This is not science, or skepticism, it's partisan allegiance.

If you wanna know the truth God will have to reveal it to you through Jesus Christ.
Beware what you seek.

Sometimes, being innocent is a good thing, and knowledge of government systems is one of those instances.

What do you think the White House smells like after 4 years of Trump? It's gotta reek of stale french fries and chicken buckets.

Cuz Trump is so young and fit... Everytime he's in front of a camera you can see the stink haze emanating from him.
