Strong sentiment persuades an arrangement of facts that will support any grievance, and a piori conviction has always, and will always play a part in scientific method. This garbage, however, is deliberate confusion that is meant to deliver political benefit. The statement is so absurd that it is difficult to counter it in a way that attracts equal attention and for that reason it’s effective.
