    @deliprao @zhksh @yoavgo @Abebab @ylecun if you have one crank who believes in a conspiracy theory, well, that might be a problem, but it's probably fine. if you have a large subset of the population who believes in a conspiracy theory... then you definitely have a problem.

      @deliprao @zhksh @yoavgo @Abebab @ylecun if you have one scientist who makes up references, that might be a problem but there are mechanisms to deal with it. if you have a broad group of scientists using software that makes up references, then you start to create a different sort of problem.
