      Yeah, but the problem is that Feynman was actually doing science and that's what he wanted to do. The people who want answers that cannot be questioned don't actually do science or want to do science, they want to be PERCEIVED as smart people who do science. They want to be perceived as knowing something and having the answers, without having to do all of that actual hard boring work of verifying their data and validating their conclusions.

Most people have no idea how science is really done. We want instant gratification with all areas of our lives. That’s just not possible when the scientific method is performed correctly.

      Close friends in keeping secrets (or else):
      13 And it came to pass that Akish gathered in unto the house of Jared all his kinsfolk, and said unto them: Will ye swear unto me that ye will be faithful unto me in the thing which I shall desire of you?
      14 And it came to pass that they all sware unto him, by the God of heaven, and also by the heavens, and also by the earth, and by their heads, that whoso should vary from the assistance which Akish desired should lose his head; and whoso should divulge whatsoever thing Akish made known unto them, the same should lose his life.
      15 And it came to pass that thus they did agree with Akish. And Akish did administer unto them the oaths which were given by them of old who also sought power, which had been handed down even from Cain, who was a murderer from the beginning.
      16 And they were kept up by the power of the devil to administer these oaths unto the people, to keep them in darkness, to help such as sought power to gain power, and to murder, and to plunder, and to lie, and to commit all manner of wickedness and whoredoms.
      17 And it was the daughter of Jared who put it into his heart to search up these things of old; and Jared put it into the heart of Akish; wherefore, Akish administered it unto his kindred and friends, leading them away by fair promises to do whatsoever thing he desired.
      18 And it came to pass that they formed a secret combination, even as they of old; which combination is most abominable and wicked above all, in the sight of God;
      19 For the Lord worketh not in secret combinations, neither doth he will that man should shed blood, but in all things hath forbidden it, from the beginning of man.
      20 And now I, Moroni, do not write the manner of their oaths and combinations, for it hath been made known unto me that they are had among all people, and they are had among the Lamanites.
      21 And they have caused the destruction of this people of whom I am now speaking, and also the destruction of the people of Nephi.
      22 And whatsoever nation shall uphold such secret combinations, to get power and gain, until they shall spread over the nation, behold, they shall be destroyed; for the Lord will not suffer that the blood of his saints, which shall be shed by them, shall always cry unto him from the ground for vengeance upon them and yet he avenge them not.
      23 Wherefore, O ye Gentiles, it is wisdom in God that these things should be shown unto you, that thereby ye may repent of your sins, and suffer not that these murderous combinations shall get above you, which are built up to get power and gain-and the work, yea, even the work of destruction come upon you, yea, even the sword of the justice of the Eternal God shall fall upon you, to your overthrow and destruction if ye shall suffer these things to be.
      24 Wherefore, the Lord commandeth you, when ye shall see these things come among you that ye shall awake to a sense of your awful situation, because of this secret combination which shall be among you; or wo be unto it, because of the blood of them who have been slain; for they cry from the dust for vengeance upon it, and also upon those who built it up.
      25 For it cometh to pass that whoso buildeth it up seeketh to overthrow the freedom of all lands, nations, and countries; and it bringeth to pass the destruction of all people, for it is built up by the devil, who is the father of all lies; even that same liar who beguiled our first parents, yea, even that same liar who hath caused man to commit murder from the beginning; who hath hardened the hearts of men that they have murdered the prophets, and stoned them, and cast them out from the beginning.
      26 Wherefore, I, Moroni, am commanded to write these things that evil may be done away, and that the time may come that Satan may have no power upon the hearts of the children of men, but that they may be persuaded to do good continually, that they may come unto the fountain of all righteousness and be saved.

      Out in the real world and away from echo chambers like this one, there is a compelling chain of scientific evidence PROVING human activity (mostly burning fossil fuels) is driving global warming, In fact, humans caused ~100% of all net global warming over the last 140 years, all the main predictions of the theory of man-made global warming have come true, and 14 different climate models--some dating back to the 1970s and 1980s have all accurately predicted how much warming would by caused by our emissions. In a nutshell, the scientists have this figured out and we have passed 99% certainty that human activity is warming the planet.
      Furthermore, the science is very clear that our excess CO2 emissions are driving substantial disruption of usual climate patterns, generating increasingly-intense heat waves, droughts, wildfires, hurricanes, and precipitation events while accelerating global ice melt, sea level rise, and the steady deterioration of the health of Earth’s ecosystems. Man-made global warming has already killed half the coral reefs that once existed, and unless we change course, the casualties and expenses for humans and other species will just keep piling up.

      I will say that scientists do get a little frustrated at people presenting old debunked ideas as brand new.
      In fact students at university used to do that every single year, for those research scientists also engaged in teaching. So some patience is a virtue.
      Debate should be normal but the armies of the less informed can seem overwhelming , which in turn creates a bunker mentality where researchers retreat and then shut out novel ideas.
      And they also in the public sphere need to battle against those with agendas or some form of mental illness which is tough. How do you distinguish enthusiastic questioning of science to learn versus circular reasoning of the insane and still get work done?

      You don't get to choose your own facts in science, and out in the real world, there is a compelling chain of scientific evidence PROVING human activity (mostly burning fossil fuels) is driving global warming, humans caused ~100% of all net global warming over the last 140 years, all the main predictions of the theory of man-made global warming have come true and 14 different climate models--some dating back to the 1970s and 1980s have all accurately predicted how much warming would by caused by our emissions. In a nutshell, the scientists have this figured out and we have passed 99% certainty that human activity is warming the planet.
      Furthermore, the science is very clear that our excess CO2 emissions are driving substantial disruption of usual climate patterns, generating increasingly-intense heat waves, droughts, wildfires, hurricanes, and precipitation events while accelerating global ice melt, sea level rise, and the steady deterioration of the health of Earth’s ecosystems. Man-made global warming has already killed half the coral reefs that once existed, and unless we change course, the casualties and expenses for humans and other species will just keep piling up.

"Technically what you said is factually correct but there's more to it" is what someone says when they don't want to dispute outright facts but they have an agenda that is not served by those facts.

In a nutshell, the scientists have this figured out and we have passed 99% certainty that human activity is warming the planet.
      Furthermore, the science is very clear that our excess CO2 emissions are driving substantial disruption of usual climate patterns, generating increasingly-intense heat waves, droughts, wildfires, hurricanes, and precipitation events while accelerating global ice melt, sea level rise, and the steady deterioration of the health of Earth’s ecosystems. Man-made global warming has already killed half the coral reefs that once existed, and unless we change course, the casualties and expenses for humans and other species will just keep piling up.
