5. Bonus phrase - "we do prefer science to plotism" - which seems to be an attempted translation of "complotisme"

which came between the two "we do prefer"s above. Some left it out (unsure what he said); Scientists for EU have "plotism", and so do the AlArabiya English subtitles at Daily Motion; the Independent went with " (conspiracies) "; NationalWorld used "conspiracy" as if that was what be said. Bloomberg just uses "relativism", again as if that's a direct quote.


You can hear it at the Daily Motion video; "plotism" seems correct.
