"Citizen scientists"? Didn't even know that was a thing until now.

Talk about bending the language to appeal to the ignorant.

Watch all his stuff, it's all good, and he talks a lot about those types. He also used to host the golden crocoduck. Basically I wanted to plug his channel...

"citizen scientists" and the like are not considering all the info we have.

It's complicated folks!

But I always remind people who say "It's cold this Feb!"

Well, it's winter here! But it's not cold in Australia!

A related problem to "it's complicated" is also "The whole world is not just like your back yard."
