It takes 20 seconds to find a paper. On anything.
In 1 minute, you can find 5 papers to back up a claim .. 30 minutes with GPT and you can write your own fucking paper. …
Of course, there are often a further 5 papers out there arguing opposite, because that’s how research works. But nobody seems interested in that. Someone just names “two papers !” And you are sold. Just. like. that. The argument is over for you.
I have to ask, Are you 12 ? Or brand new to the internet or something ?
Nice strawman
You don’tt even know what a straw man is
You claimed that they see a single source and are just satisfied based on the existence of any paper. That is not an accurate or justified interpretation of their statement.
Studies suggesting something don't definitively prove it, sure, because, as you say, contrary evidence can exist. But no one claimed that - they just said studies "back it up". This is true. Studies can indeed "back up" claims.
I hope you know better than to try homeschooling your child. You don't seem to have the patience, understanding, or wisdom necessary to teach a child anything positive or valuable past about 5th grade. You don't know what you're talking about and when people try to help you understand, you insist that you were right all along and resort to insults. You should really take an introspective look at yourself to try to figure out what it is about your life that's making you so bitter and frustrated and toxic at such a young age.
Try harder, dear.
