They don't care about facts data or science. They use it to argue in bad faith, not to have a serious convo.

If you call that out they'll just ignore you and try and get you with some other made up gotcha fact.

    Exactly. It's something like a gish gallop - you can't really rebut that and explain why it's a comment made in bad faith, but to casual readers it's a valid retort.
