      Rofl. OK. So forensics is fake science now, too? Because it could implicate someone you’d rather see go free?

      How is this kind of mental gymnastics any different than the covid deniers.

        It’s famously subjective. My highschool taught it and showed how you could push any narrative as long as the evidence was gray. It’s almost always gray in these situations.

        a lot of forensics is legitimately junk science that’s been disproven by much better science

        tacking the word “science” on to something doesn’t make it scientific. much of it is based off of wild assumptions and “common sense” that was never actually studied or confirmed through testing. its about as scientific as alchemy.

        I am all for science but yeah, forensics shouldn’t be considered a science. It has some scientific elements. And a lot of bullshit.
