if you called someone crazy at some point for suggesting this as a possibility, it is time to pause and reflect

>>recurs+06
It is reasonable & responsible to downplay theories that get constructed in absence of sufficient and meaningfully qualified evidence.

GP didn’t say “if you thought there was insufficient evidence before, you have some reflecting to do!”

>>dabble+X9
I'm advocating a principle that applies well to the OP.

Then your comment would make more sense as a response to the OP.

If anything it seems like you would agree that in the absence of evidence humility is appropriate. People who acted like only fringe conspiracy theorists would even consider lab origins should reflect on their overconfidence and arrogance. It’s not a slam dunk either way and probably never will be, if i had to guess.
