Your experience of that is pretty much the key reason I’ve not bothered to explain this outside of a very limited specialist community I owed a lot to as I was putting it together.
I keep seeing new finds that would be really interesting to discuss, and I kind of hate seeing users confused about their own ancestral history while sitting knowing the answers, but I’ll be damned if I’m going to be the one putting controversial answers out there in a more public way.
People are fucking nuts and it seems each day care less and less about actual truth and facts and more about tribalism and confirmation bias to the point of irrationality.
Over the next few years a lot of stuff will be identified by AIs capable of better correlation of data points than researchers to date, and then it can be the AI that gets to be the object of crazy people’s ire and not actual humans that were just nerding out over research and data.
