I'm not even going to go there - I have no concerns about the bat or pangolin data so simply ignoring all of that is just dumb (well, that data invalidates their findings, so of course, I get it).

Amusing that Inspector Clouseau still finds time to moan about the Proximal Origins paper even though it seems wewere right all along?
