Everything I can find from actual scholarly publications seems to point to there still being controversy/ongoing study. Everything that supports your argument is an opinion piece written as a philosophy paper or the like. You can't just keep saying, "studies show." What studies? Where are the links? You think I'm just sitting too firmly on the fence, but you just keep saying shit without backing it up.
You're the one doubting the IOC, which is what the poll is about. The burden is on you because you are making the claim that they could be wrong. You can't even explain why you have doubt.
Aren't yall supposed to be skeptics? You're going to trust the ioc without them presenting sufficient evidence for their claim?
All shell is doing is saying she needs legitimate evidence before forming an opinion on this issue either way.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
