the first and most practical is that the death can't sue. the second is related to a question: what do you think is the equivalent to history revisionism for other disciplines?

weird. I would put it closer to "non-mainstream researcher", and can be for good or bad reasons. I realize alt-nutrition has some moony guys so I'm not making a compliment either, but I wouldn't think of reaching your extreme.

people (say, wikipedia) usually have the separate term negationism for that, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historical_revisionism … you can disagree with wikipedia, I do on various topics, I just have no reason here yet
