People don’t believe in evidence. They believe in people. That is why the character of public figures is their most important attribute. You have to put the evidence in the mouth of a trusted party before the public will give it any weight.https://twitter.com/_alice_evans/status/1036888450245513217 …

Ten years ago I was convinced by JS Mill: through open debate, facts, & logic we defeat idiotic alternatives.
But as we’ve seen with Brexit (& strong support for no deal), reasoned argument is not always enough.
Our belief in the power of evidence does not seem evidenced based.
