    IMO, it’s okay to have casual conversations without being an expert or researching every post. Redditors’ habit of fact-checking everything is honestly tiring. Conversation has other purposes besides education. I think many people are looking more for human interaction than for correct facts.

      Right but conversations about science where all parties are wrong and nobody is willing to actually look shit up are completely pointless. It’s the exact same problem that caused the situation in the OP in the first place.
