We are those silly buggers insisting, to the chagrin of the Covidians, that science is a process and not an institution. They bemoan us thinking that science is a way of thinking and not a pre-written compendium of incontrovertible facts (for us to believe without question) curated and attested to by trusted scientists (whose authority on such matters is also to be believed without question).

That's what the so-called MIT study revealed, to the chagrin of the Covidian high priests, who bemoan the lack of discretion of the study authors in using language that can so easily be "weaponized" by "cranks" like us.

If objective truth is, to them, a weapon that they fear will be used against them, one may wonder which side really is the side of the "cranks."
