Lawrence’s response, some of you, including a moderator here probably won’t read it since you’ve made up your mind based on an article from such a clearly legitimate news agency like buzzfeed.
Does no one have a bull**** detector or is it just this particular subforum
I read the story and also read up on the debate and the people in it. The accusers seemed like reliable people and the number of accusers and supporting statements made the story even more credible.
This isn't a court of law, we have no obligation nor really a very compelling reason to hold "innocent until guilty" as the applicable standard. The story seems legit by any reasonable standard of news, and it also holds up to further digging.
Sure, if we use some misguided form of skepticism as the gold-standard it could all be some giant conspiracy to bring the mighty Krauss down, but that's increasingly looking like the "god of the gaps" he used to be so keen to deride.
