Discussions are good for those that can handle critical thinking, but it seems that any “science” not aligning to the status quo will be censored.
Unless your quotes around ‘science’ are intended to refer to things that are not actually science at all, you’ve got the situation backwards. In this case, it was the status quo disagreeing with science (in a dangerous way) that was being censored, but honestly, I don’t think that’s bad in this case…? Someone who legitimately doesn’t know better could easily go to a thread like that, see a lot of folks saying “Oh, yeah, you can do this!”, and assume it’s true.
It’s similar to if I posted a bunch of BS stating that bleach could be used in place of milk in cereal if you run out. That should be censored, because unless you subscribe to the belief that people shouldn’t be prevented from making stupid mistakes if they’re not smart enough to do their own research, it has no chance of doing good to leave it, but some chance of doing harm. Like, how definitively factually inaccurate does something need to be, in your opinion, before it can be censored?
