Well, @stlyankeefan actually IS a teacher, but I’m not sure I see much of a leadership problem. Nor have I ever seen her make an argument from authority. She’s stressed here multiple times the fact that she tries, when handling student questions about these things, to focus on the data: what can we show, and what can’t we?
No. That’s just you making a false statement because you have been sloppy about accepting claims from bad sources.
