    So now anecdotal evidence matters? Show me one published scientific work that claims 100% certainty of anything.

      You’re the one who told me to talk to my colleagues, you shouldn;ty have suggested that if you wouldn’t accept the answer.

      Stop being stupid, you don’t know any scientists or science, and are making blind assumptions.

      And papers state the facts they use all the time without citation, because they are established facts. And I’m not going to waste my time trying to guide you through academic journals to learn to spot those moments, as it happens in most papers so if you haven;t learned to recognize it already then it’s not worth talking to you.

        Yes, but then you didn’t do that, did you? I said to ask them, you made a sweeping anecdotal assumption instead of actually performing the test.

        And then you could find one single example of a published work claiming 100% certainty.

        Please let me know where you do your research so I can avoid it. Otherwise I’m finished here.

          You’re an idiot, so I don’t mind you being finished here.

          I do talk to my colleagues about it, when we design and set up experiments, and write papers, we talk about what we know is fact, and what we are testing. There are lots of facts in science mate.

          And I already told you, read any paper. Just about every paper makes claims of known facts in their introductions to establish the work they are doing.

            About 100% certainty? Sufficiently established for practical work, sure. But 100%? You are not a scientist. A chemist maybe, but not a scientist. You’re an embarrassment, it’s science professionals like you that cause bullshit like vaccine denial through your arrogance. I’ve read plenty of papers, they all use language that acknowledges their uncertainty. Maybe your colleagues are all embarrassments too.

            Do everyone a favor and tell us where all you unscientific glorified mixologists do your hackwork.
