The justification for the removal was that it was โspreading information which may cause harmโ.Ego investment is a helluva drug. Everybody wants to feel like they're making a difference so bad that the truth doesn't matter.
Again, note the language. Not โfalse informationโ or โfactually incorrect informationโ only โinformation which may cause harmโ. Nobody (thus far) is disputing the method of the work, or the accuracy of the findings.
If thorough research โmay cause you harmโ, what does that really say about you? If truth doesnโt fit the โcurrent climateโโฆwhat does that say about our climate?
