You know damn well these are not in the same category. I don't see anyone establishing a position against the Flat Earthers that it's "very likely" that the Earth is round.

I've noticed in other posts that you're kind of beating the "argument from authority" bit to death here, aren't you?

Admit it, do you have any idea who most of these people actually are? How many do you suppose are Bush administration appointees, and what suddenly makes them geniuses because they happen to agree with you?
