I am not saying it can't happen. I am saying the hurdle to justify such a change is fairly high. | |

That is, why don't we allow questions that would teach people to verify claims themselves? | |

| Jan 27, 2021 at 3:34 | comment | added | days of love iff good genes | I see your point that you can probably find a claim that would technically fit, i.e. some source saying "most medical research is reliable", but probably that would be too broad for it to be verifiable by some conventional means, i.e. a meta-analysis. | |
