Maybe they meant that, but I have a feeling they didn't.
Influenza would be a better example there given the extensive recorded history of its mutations.
Flu works as an example too, but with covid we saw mutations coming nearly in realtime by comparison with how closely it was being monitored.
Fair point, it's certainly closer to the zeitgeist as well.
Which is kind of sad given the damage flu did last season, and likely will this season.
So there is a perfectly reasonable explanation for their comment, but you refuse to accept it? Because of a feeling? A feeling that you can't quite articulate? Dare I say it... Faith?
It was a different person responding..
I don't accept one person's opinion as evidence of another's. That's dumb as shit.
Since you brought it up: I'm not a believer in any God. I do believe that the theory of evolution is true.
It's an application of Occam's Razor. It's an application of the Principal of Charity. It's an application of some of the most basic concepts of philosophy.
I think it's an extreme position to say that it's dumb as shit.
And yet you're accusing me of faith I don't have while providing no evidence of your interpretation, but insisting that it's correct anyway.
I think that's dumb as shit.
You work incredibly hard to interpret what people say to conclude that they're dumb and wrong, when there are much simpler interpretations available.
I don't know if you're wrong. Neither of us do, because OP didn't say.
Weird that you can't see that.
