alt Hacker NewsWhen you make an outrageous claim the burden of proof is on the claimant. Given that there isn't a real indication of anything to the contrary, it is reasonable to assume reality is still the way it always was and humans are too.

This feels hand wavy.
I could make the same claim of a bridge before it collapses, without realising the steel was weak, or had micro fractures.
Where's the proof? What an outlandish claim! Don't you see traffic flowing as normal?
Of course, we shouldn't drop all advancement due to worries. I do think we should study the results a bit more closely though.

Which is the outrageous claim? We normally require new medical treatments to be proved safe, rather than assume they are safe until proved dangerous.
