well oil companies funded "lead fuels are safe" research...

...and it really did backfire (in public relations, politics, etc)

now... I don't think they can actually fund 'research-for-their-profit' -- I mean, would you believe "petro is good for earth" research coming from oil companies, even after the 'lead is good or neutral' research?

Yes.

Not uncritically, but if the research presents a logically consistent hypothesis, and evidence supporting it, then it would be worth following up on with independent groups and if it remains consistent to scrutiny then it should be accepted.

That's how science works.

well the bravery for robbing a bank deserves some respect, not jail time

sexual assulters deserve respect due to their manliness and will-to-action

hmm can't see what's wrong here? well that's your intelligence level

> Oh I needed to disclose user data in order to make more money

hmm maybe they should've paywalled?

> As long as they fit into the same place in their worldview

but... "same place in their worldview" model goes awry when things to slightly off course

most people are ok with calling rgb(255,0,0) red, but some will argue with rgb(200, 50, 20)

well "want to" isn't "does not have to"

1. The version of the ceasefire that you are got third hand from Twitter or American news outlets are not accurate.

2. Iranians can't read.

Which do you think is more likely?

Most likely not. I've seen Iranian sources claim that the 10 point plan is violated[1]. However I (1) do not know about Iran's government structure and (2) I can only trust other sources that I believe are trustworthy.

However I think assuming that Israel violating the ceasefire (as they have done multiple times in the past) is more reasonable than assuming a country with a ~400B GDP (similar to Hong Kong, Portugal) has leaders that "can't read".

think there will be some coalition of some sorts

just mentioning "toll" is enough to "be made an example"

hmm? Suez is a man-made facility, and it costs money to operate it

so... maybe we should go back to the pirate days yarrr?

> Suez is a man-made facility

If only the comment you're replying to had included another example.
