What makes someone believe or reject science? Quality of recordings. When people listen to recordings of a scientist presenting their work, the quality of audio had a significant impact on whether people believed what they were hearing. Source 5o.
Science doesn't care if you believe it, it still operates. Its whether a person thinks its false or faked, feeding into their own paranoia or fantasies. The fact if someone speaks or is heard in a certain way just means that the audio dies the convincing. Passionate speaking can make lies seem plausible, too.
I think a lot of people cherry pick the science that they choose to believe. Preferring the information that fits the narrative they like best.
Science is only true according to the latest research so taking it with a grain of salt is needed if its based on observation or using a set number of people with mean results. Science is only absolutely true when absolute facts prove it to be that way.
