I’ve had this conversation with people who send me big brain conspiracy videos on topics I actually know things about.
“Look, this is wrong in a very specific way but for you to understand why I’m going to have to take you through a physics class.”
There’s this baseline thing that I don’t think we teach in school very well about words and language. We can be using the same words to say things, but our underlying meaning can at times be so different as to be in opposition. Science uses words weird, so a lot of times people who don’t know that very badly misinterpret the meaning of what scientists say.
