#6 Holocaust deniers are lumped with climate change deniers and round earth deniers? Each of these is very different. Apples and oranges. Lumping them together to come up with a unifying theory of why people hold on to certain beliefs is bad science. Has the politization of science been considered?

Observing her prey under pressure,
Found mice she befriended,
Surprisingly, tended
To join her to dine, and with pleasure.
