Junk science is junk science.


Saying "it's too political so it must be wrong" is the same as
saying "it's wrong because it's wrong." It's a completely
conclusory, content-free statement you're making.


Quote from John Nash's Nobel prize biography on his recovery from
schizophrenia:

"Then gradually I began to intellectually reject some of the delusionally
influenced lines of thinking which had been characteristic of my
orientation. This began, most recognizably, with the rejection of
politically-oriented thinking as essentially a hopeless waste of
intellectual effort"
