This is a terrible argument—should Tamar interview homeopaths to understand their passion, and therefore test the efficacy of homeopathy? What about acupuncturists, or knee surgeons whose passion for arthroscopic surgery doesn't outperform placebo?https://twitter.com/garytaubes/status/1352320927309070336 …

These are interesting analogies. I'm not sure they're parallels, though. If homeopathy, e.g., could reverse a chronic condition like ob and db, then they might be. The question is always what are they seeing that we're not. Maybe they're deluded, but we can't know without asking

Agree — worth talking to them. (Also my thread was needlessly dickish, m apologies and appreciate your courteous engagement despite that.) I don’t think we find out if they’re deluded by asking, though.

Your thread was not dickish at all, just correctly blunt.
