Feb 21, 2023 at 3:36 comment added bob1 @BryanKrause good point too; bright line test of an actual reputable reference is a good way to go.
Feb 21, 2023 at 3:34 comment added bob1 @IanCampbell good point. I thought closed ones didn't disappear and was worried that we might end up on the receiving end of "ha, look these didn't get refuted, only closed, there must be a global conspiracy and some truth in them" sort of misrepresentation.
Feb 20, 2023 at 15:20 comment added Bryan Krause Mod I think I'd rather redirect people towards Skeptics.SE if they have the equivalent of their "notable claim" and ask to check it. If they want to learn about medical science, they can reference something marginally more reputable. I'm more open to dissecting claims when they can be linked to an actual published paper, but I have no interest in this becoming a "debunk my youtube video" site.
Feb 15, 2023 at 21:59 comment added Ian Campbell Mod I'm not the downvoter, but I disagree with this answer personally. I am all for fighting disinformation, but I think the appropriate way to keep it off the site is to close the question and downvote it so that it is swiftly removed from the site by the "Romba" deletion script.
