      Try linking to the piece where it explains why that is not the case, which is why aerosol scientists were the first ones to call for universal masking and that "masks are useless" crowd are the same people wrongly assuming droplets. (Or, go on your merry way misleading people?)

          Wait, you think this isn’t spread primarily by contact droplets? The same thing that aersolization relies on? LOL.

          As an open minded person, I’m waiting to see a single RCT that shows the effectiveness of masks (other than N95s.) But there isn’t one. What’s the implication of that?

          It makes sense to point out, as you do, that the misunderstanding led to a mistaken belief that 1-2 meters of separation when indoors is sufficient. But where's the evidence -- not simulations or lab tests, but empirical evidence -- that using cloth masks will work?
