A lot of threads here are really nothing more than indulgent conjecture but that’s always been the case, those who take part see themselves as being qualified to engage in that type of thing and many seem to enjoy it. A type of intellectual merry go round, Free thought that folks seem to enjoy and really I can’t see the harm in it as it is now plus it can encourage learning and uncover intresting topics.
We don’t have any of the totally unqualified and fruitless nonsense you find elsewhere , as always though we are defined by the contributions of members.
Individual Threads tend to set their own tone , with this in mind if one feels like
@Wombat does then one should start some ‘science ‘ threads and discussions.
Really that’s the issue , as a collective and as individuals you are all responsible for the content here. You want more ‘science’ threads , start them.
