People who need remedial logic would think that, maybe. Punxsutawney Phil is also in the Epstein files.

Did you know anyone can allege absolutely anything? Did you know conspiracy theorists were spinning their fabulist nonsense about Epstein & beyond[^nonsense] years before the scandal gained traction mainstream & their half-baked ideas continue to shape our discourse?

A skeptical insistence on conclusive evidence & not falling for logical fallacies is rudimentary to scientific reasoning. It's pathetic a community purportedly interested in science seems to forget that.
