@emanueleluciani99 you've just demonstrated bias with a leading question, replace door with car window. IE leaving your car windows down a crack in summer is considered by most as "open" even though it's only 10% open rather than "90% closed" If something is typically black or white, not grey.. it's extremely misleading (technically leading) to pose a scenario which only holds up when there is ambiguity in what is being asked, rather than what is being sought. If upon clarification or better wording the majority of participants would alter their answer.. all you've really proven is how deceptive the original question was.

@freshrockpapa-e7799 "trust the science" 😂 Learn what peer review is and how important it is in science - science is the pursuit of knowledge based on the data from repeatable experimentation and evidence... not what two people tell you it is.

@freshrockpapa-e7799 and since you are probably too flustered to click on a link and read, here is a pertinent excerpt: Scientific knowledge is best established by evidence and experiment rather than argued through authority[13][14][15] as authority has no place in science.[14][25][26] Carl Sagan wrote of arguments from authority: "One of the great commandments of science is, 'Mistrust arguments from authority.' ... Too many such arguments have proved too painfully wrong. Authorities must prove their contentions like everybody else."[24]

@freshrockpapa-e7799 you keep assuming things i've never said nor thought about the paper. I was merely criticizing your use of the word science. You talk like a bitter academic with an arts major, makes sense why you'd get upset when someone isn't impressed. Don't stress i hear it gets easier as you get older. Good luck buddy, chin up!

@joshuazeeman7553 we (general public) sit though enough youtube ads that Derek makes serious bank from that he shouldn't need to push an additional sponsor... you seen his house?!? Dude is living in a manchin from his youtube earnings not patreon or sponsorships... those are just icing on the cake at this point. So spare us all the guilt trip.

@freshrockpapa-e7799 i said you talk like one, which you do. Academics come in all shapes and ages. My remarks hold true no matter your age and i stand by every word. Your reading comprehension seems pretty sloppy for someone throwing around accusations and demanding others read a study... It begs the question, have you actually read it yourself? And don't stress it's a rhetorical question, i don't care either way nor would it change my opinion. Hope things get better for you soon!
