I don’t see how that’s relevant here.

I mean, people do predict things based on evidence. Galileo didn’t actually go to outer space and verify that the earth was going around the sun.

Media headlines that use the word lobbying probably do it so that people don’t take up arms. If they were to instead call it bribery, I think a lot more people would take issue with the whole process.

It has not been peer reviewed.

I could make a paper in 5 minutes about how AI can be used to uniquely identify people by smelling their farts. Doesn’t mean anything unless it’s been peer reviewed.

Until this paper has been peer reviewed, I give it as much credit as I give a flat earth conspiracy person.
