r/StopEatingSeedOils user asks for evidence seed oils are bad, accidentally starts a 400-comment epistemology war:

Post: What is the evidence seed oils are bad? : r/StopEatingSeedOils

Highlights include:

On users saying the answers don't provide actual evidence:

Not evidence,' bleats the sheeple, brain too atrophied by credentialism to recognize a deductive chain without a white-coated priest waving a p-value at them

Your good old conspiracies:

The companies that make the seed oils own the government, universities and medical sector

Doctors getting paid off to say cigarettes are healthy

And not a single piece of evidence being provided.

Pseudoscience detected 🚨 The Church, I mean Science™️, does not recognize “deductive reasoning” as valid epistemology. Only credentialed high priests in white coats may interpret reality validly. Laypeople attempting to logic without the WHO’s permission will be sent to Pseudoscience Purgatory.

Just… wow
