[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The issue is, who decides what "mis information" is? It’s a slippery slope. [/quote]
"Mis" information is factually incorrect. How is this hard?[/quote]

Years ago it was a FACT that the world was flat, is it? It was a FACT that there was a sun god pulling the sun across the shy, is there?[/quote]

You make the point that our best available understanding can change based on the newest information.  But once we have the new information, and once the bad old information is disproven, it's no longer valid to keep clinging to the old info.  The earth is not flat.

We still don't understand *exactly* how gravity works either, best available guess is Einstein's General Theory but that said we can still make reliable calculations based on our knowledge.

The PROBLEM is that flat-earther-type idiots, the anti-vaxxers, J6ers and others, in spite of better available info, cling to talking points that are just plain wrong and completely disproven and discredited.  And while merely being stupid is not a crime, when your stupidity results in destruction or getting people killed, like the J6 attack on the US Capitol, or like the hundreds of thousands of COVID deaths that could have been avoided, then it's not just wrong and stupid, it's lethally and criminally dangerous.[/quote]
