[QUOTE="LeafByNiggle, post: 76396995, member: 436315"] No. My own brother uses that expression often. I have also seen some slightly better versions of "do your research." They often cite legitimate and relevant research papers that are really too technical for anyone other than another expert in that field to properly analyze. And so any analysis they give is hard to refute, but also hard to truly follow critically. No one likes to admit they are stupid, or even that they don't fully follow the analysis. Therefore it is easier to give in and say "Yes, I see how bleach could kill covid!" than to say "I don't quite understand this technical paper." Here's where a little humility pays off. It reminds me of the children's story, "The Emperor's New Clothes". It took the humility of child to admit they did not see what others claimed to see. [/QUOTE]
