    Tell me where scientists are prosecuted for having got a theory wrong

    Tell me where meteorologists routinely are prosecuted

    I already mentioned the obvious exceptions (lying to cause certain types of harm) but few western countries allow penalties for anything outside those exceptions

      Are you more than a little bit slow?

      Do you see the difference between “lies NOT protected” and “lies criminalised”? And BTW I just gave you an example of a criminalised lie.

        So you’re admitting you didn’t read any of my comments, and that you don’t understand that only very narrow types of lies are criminalized while the vast majority are not

        Hint: read my first comment again

        And then again

        And then again, and notice the parentheses this time. Then ask somebody to explain it to you.
