You're not selling me...

I would totally watch a flat earther present their ideas at a science conference!!!

Make it happen, YouTube that sh*t.

You may want to watch it, but the truth is that even failing miserably at a scientific conference gives them more credibility than they had before.

This is why scientists and science advocates who do those formal debates with flat earthers or creationists are criticized. It gives the wackos credibility with the group that already believes their crap and makes no impact on the people who already realize they're idiots.

They win even if they lose... Like a guaranteed participation trophy.

I couldn't find a way to finish that sentence... What exactly is the flat earthers argument? Maybe if the scientific community wasn't refusing to publish their research and crapping all over their debates we would know...

lol, no.

It can only lend credibility of their flawed ideas to humans with sufficiently flawed brains.

Like the great Ron White said... you can't fix stupid.

So why not simply sit back and enjoy the show?

Because the goal of scientific conferences isn't to "sit back and enjoy the show"? It's to disseminate scientific information between scientists.....

Having someone present completely unsound scientific ideas has as much place there as a professional wrestling match. It may entertain some but doesn't further the purpose of the conference.

And yes, it lends credibility to those with flawed brains. I suppose you don't care about that part, because as you said, you can't fix stupid... But there is no need to let these people out of the margins.

Sure there is!

It allows others with better functioning brains to look for commonalities between them and the simpletons and eliminate their current mental deficiencies.

It really is a win win.

So not a flat out lie but a twisting of the truth to serve his own purpose?
