Here's a simple thought experiment:

If someone studies a topic for many years, do you think they will likely know more about that topic than people who have not studied it?

Then, if the vast majority of such experts on a topic agree on something about it, do you think that maybe that thing is true?

This post is about *many* things, notably including:

- Climate change
- Vaccines
- Psychiatric diagnosis of trump

Feel free to add your own examples.

@jamesmarshall although
erroneously attributed to Mark Twain, this statement is highly relevant:

"No amount of evidence will ever persuade an idiot."

Did Mark Twain Say 'No Amount of Evidence Will Ever Persuade an Idiot'?

The quote attached to author Samuel Clemens' pen name has been published far and wide on the internet.
