But the public perception of longtime skeptics' lack of engagement is probably ambiguous. The critics appear either to have been shown false when it comes to evidence and to have given up in defeat or to be stubbornly holding out; or, alternatively, to have been vindicated in their skepticism and to have given up on people who can't be reasoned with and who have persisted in their delusional beliefs for years. Different people no doubt come to different conclusions in this regard. Eric
