Lab-leak / accidental release hypothesis

Love it. Ignore lab origin completely. Don't cite a single of their works. Ignored as entirely irrelevant.

In context

A single line often inverts meaning once you see what it answers, so neighbouring messages are always shown.

    Yup - honestly, I think this is the way forward. As soon as we start giving it attention, well, it'll get more attention and it's not like they'll ever be happy unless we go visit some old mines... Essentially the argument is "we have considered it, and we don't find lab origins plausible" - but without even saying that.
