I don't believe that C19 is a bioweapon, or that it was engineered, but I don't understand how @elizabarklay *proves* that it must have gotten to the Wuhan wet market from a bat cave 1000 miles away instead accidentally from a lab studying SARS 280m away?https://www.vox.com/2020/3/4/21156607/how-did-the-coronavirus-get-started-china-wuhan-lab …

@elizabarklay's lengthy tangent that the belief that the virus may have escaped from the lab may have a bad effect on the scientific work of the lab or public morale, or that bad people want you to believe bad things is completely irrelevant for understanding what happened btw.

I wonder it this is one of these things that everybody can see clearly but that you are just not supposed to say out loud.

every "debunking" attacks a very weak form of the "accidental release of a pathogen" theory (none mention multiple sars-i leaks!)

unfortunately this is a large enough event now i expect we'll never know -- if it was a leak, evidence probably no longer exists

I believe it's an entirely different epistemology. I can point to several clues in framing and phrasing suggestive of motivated reasoning, but I'm starting to believe it may be an entirely rhetorical mode of cognition.

one operating in this mode would not recognize the difficulty of proving a negative nor understand the capability of arguing for the possibility of something without arguing its truth, let alone why one might argue abstractly for the usefulness of doing so.
