Are you saying you consider those two terms to be the same?

You can turn that into whatever you want. But it's my position.

You've now claimed both of these points, and you have to pick one.
Which one do you pick?

Seriously.

I like Bayes Theorem because it destroys that stupid slogan "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence".

They are calling for the retraction of Kristian Andersen's Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2 paper
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/a...ts-demand.html
Dozens of scientists have today demanded the retraction of an influential paper credited with dismissing the idea that Covid emerged from a lab.
Authors of 'Proximal Origin', published days before Britain was thrust into its first lockdown, wrote: 'We do not believe that any type of laboratory-based scenario is plausible.'
But a coalition of experts have now demanded it is removed, calling it 'misleading' and 'damaging'.
The plea comes after secret messages between the authors — which casted doubt on their own beliefs — were unearthed.
One of the researchers behind the paper in Nature Medicine, Dr Kristian Andersen, a Danish evolutionary biologist, actually believed a lab escape was 'highly likely'.
Yet they publicly supported the natural origin theory for 'political' reasons, leaked messages revealed.
Authors of the piece also feared pinning the blame on the Chinese lab would cause a 's***show' and threaten future funding of virus manipulation research.
Proximal Origins was touted by the likes of Dr Anthony Fauci in the opening months of the global pandemic amid fierce debate over its origin.
At the time, many virologists assumed that the virus emerged naturally from a spillover from animals to humans at a wet market in the centre of Wuhan.
Although many leading experts still believe this was the cause, consensus over how the pandemic began three years ago has slowly started to shift.
Evidence the virus may have escaped from the Wuhan Institute of Virology is inconclusive, leaving experts fearing the truth behind Covid's origins will never be uncovered.
In a letter sent to Nature Medicine yesterday 34 scientists called for the paper's retraction.
Signatories include Dr Richard Ebright, a molecular biologist at Rutgers University in New Jersey and long-time critic of dangerous lab research on pathogens.
The coalition stated: 'The paper played an influential role — indeed, the central role — in communicating the false narrative that science established that SARS-CoV-2 entered humans through natural spillover, and not through research-related spillover.'
The signatories then cited recent US Congressional hearings showing authors of the paper itself did not believe the core conclusion of the paper.
'The authors' statements show that the paper was, and is, a product of scientific misconduct,' the letter read.
They added: 'It is imperative that this misleading and damaging product of scientific misconduct be removed from the scientific literature.'
Slack messages obtained by MailOnline show Dr Andersen, a Danish evolutionary biologist, told colleagues the idea of a lab leak was 'not some fringe theory' and was, in fact, 'highly likely' the genesis of the pandemic.
Separate, publicly-available communications between the virologist and his co-authors show how the group backed the natural origin theory for 'political' reasons and feared pinning the blame on the Chinese lab would cause a 's***show' and threaten future funding of virus manipulation research.
Critics have claimed the messages as proof the authors worked to censor debate about the origins of the pandemic.
But the scientists involved have said they changed their minds between sending the messages and writing the paper.
Dr Andersen and the other scientists involved in publishing 'The Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2' paper on March 17, 2020, were asked to testify before the US House Oversight Select Subcommittee earlier this month.
But only Dr Andersen and co-author Dr Robert Garry, a respected microbiologist who works at Tulane University in New Orleans, actually did.
House Republicans grilled the two doctors, citing the newly disclosed communications between researchers in early 2020 as evidence of a cover-up - something the scientists strongly refuted.
Some of the messages were published as part of a Government report released early before the hearing.
