Look I'm not here to defend Niel, because I mean just listen to him for 5 seconds you'll get why he doesn't deserve defending, but he's currently being attacked by one of the few groups capable of being more annoying than him: redditors. Specifically, UFO redditors. They're mad at him because he said something like "debate is not a way to objective truth, data is" or something in regards to all this dumb UFO bullshit that's been going around.

So I guess in the end, I'm not defending Neil at all, I'm mostly just saying all of this is very funny.

debate is not a way to objective truth, data is

Did he really say that? Not that it's not in character or I'm defending UFO redditors for that matter, but I thought he had at least a little bit of a background in science.

Does he really think scientific papers are just data dumps, like just a printout of a bunch of numbers??

the UFO whistleblower didn't like that he said UFOs weren't aliens so he challenged Niel to a debate.

yes because he's not a real scientist

He's basically the human personification of those "I fucking love science" pages, so I'd say so.

Is this in relation to those goofy ass hoaxed alien mummies in mexico?

I think it's between Neil and that guy who was the center of the recent American hearings.
