    Seems like a bad take. This is from the equivalent of some random YouTube video, unrelated to the original university & scientists.

    You think it’d be possible to find a YouTube video with some bad science nonsense in it? Would that warrant a “fraud in the US, huh” comment?

    Separately, science in China does have a fraud problem. But this video wasn’t an example of that.

      I mean your example is still accurate. The person posting that video is a fraud, and if they live in America, “fraud in the US” would be most accurate as it singles out a specific person, as opposed to the statement I believe you are trying to make which would be don’t judge the whole country by 1 person. Yet they didn’t say that, they specifically say a fraud(singular) in China.

        i mean the point they were trying to make is pretty clear imo no need to dance around it so pedantically.
