"Kind of like when R's get basic climate change facts wrong ....... you don't really need to give any import to their analysis after that, would you not agree?"

No, I don't agree that it's kinda like that. Poster didn't get "basic factS wrong," he got one fact wrong, and it was corrected. I've never heard a denier admit they got a fact wrong let alone change once they found out.

Nice try with the FR comment, though. No, you're not judgy and patronizing at all!
