    Look I'm not here to defend Niel, because I mean just listen to him for 5 seconds you'll get why he doesn't deserve defending, but he's currently being attacked by one of the few groups capable of being more annoying than him: redditors. Specifically, UFO redditors. They're mad at him because he said something like "debate is not a way to objective truth, data is" or something in regards to all this dumb UFO bullshit that's been going around.

    So I guess in the end, I'm not defending Neil at all, I'm mostly just saying all of this is very funny.

      debate is not a way to objective truth, data is

      Did he really say that? Not that it's not in character or I'm defending UFO redditors for that matter, but I thought he had at least a little bit of a background in science.

      Does he really think scientific papers are just data dumps, like just a printout of a bunch of numbers??

        I think it's between Neil and that guy who was the center of the recent American hearings.
