I don’t know about the use of the word strongly, it’s one theory that is so very far from being considered fact by the scientific community at this point in time that “strongly” seems disingenuous.

Regardless, it’s a weird effect of articles where even a negative article can cause positive belief. I.e. an article debunking a myth can sometimes spread the misinformation of the myth, because some people will go from no opinion on it to disagreeing with the article’s conclusion. Common with articles debunking conspiracies.

I feel like I could be watching this in real time ;)
