I guess you don't know enough about science to understand the nuances in a debate scenario. It takes little effort for an incompetent like Kennedy to just make stuff up. To debunk crap takes far more time and effort which you don't have under debate rules
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) June 18, 2023
This is Trump-like adolescent BS. It's like turning down a debate with Trump. Trump is pretty much a dumbass, but he doesn't play by the rules. He interrupts and talks over you. He insults you 101 ways. Crackpots like Kennedy are different but experts have other issues.

Lincoln admitted in his inaugural address he had no authority over slavery. Some slave states remained in the union, not subject to the Emancipation Proclamation. Secession is more complex and had more to do with a regional balance of power

I had a medical appointment at 3pm yesterday when CNN announced a Coast Guard presser was scheduled in the aftermath of reported debris in the proximity of the Titanic wreckage. But when they reported an admiral would be making a statement, I knew it wasn't good news

I realize Monday morning quarterbacking seems easy but knowing the tremendous pressure at that depth and the Titan vessel "disappeared" near the wreckage proximity, I had suspected a Challenger-like disaster. Why did it take so long to explore the seabed?

It's possible (but this is speculation} that earlier trips had eroded/damaged/weakened the structural integrity of the Titan and this dive was the proverbial "straw that broke the camel's back".
