To some people, Fauci's remarks make you feel safe and nonjudgmental. Being neither right nor wrong means you won't make errors or misjudgments in a field in which your knowledge is limited. For some, maybe too many, that relieves them of the responsibility of thought and thinking. If you take on the responsibility, it means you put a high price and investment on reaching the truth and being accurate and being right. But as we start out on a topic, it's true that we all work out from a position of limited knowledge. No one is born an Immanuel Kant. But that doesn't excuse people from having to work out what's right from wrong. There is a right answer and there is a wrong answer; there is right, and there is wrong. There's no in-between right or wrong, there are only degrees of right or wrong, approximations that need correction, revision, or re-working. If you're wrong, you get fired up about the opportunity to correct your position and so you study a little more, you more information, you integrate it, and come to new insights and new conclusions with the understanding that what you've concluded is not the final word on your topic. To reduce knowledge to opinion means that Fauci is fucking with you.
That must be what happened to this old dude who invented Science. 😬🤣
