There are certain statements where we don’t know whether or not they are true. They might be true. They also might not be true.
If I think of an hypothesis that compatible with my understanding but where I don’t have certainty that it’s true “might” is the appropriate word.
If you think that there no way that it’s true than it should be possible for you to prove that it’s not true. For me proving that you can’t prove that it’s not true for claim where I don’t know whether they are true is a complicated matter.
Such a world would not have an incredible 30.4% of girls aged 2-19 being overweight or obese.
Like Lumifer, I am stunned at the notion of today’s high-school girls being dangerously underfed.
A overweight girl who eats too much for a few months then diets and eats to little for a few months might still get negative effects on height and IQ.
You got evidence for that statement?
Statements qualified with “might” inherently don’t need evidence.
Yes, they do.
Prefacing nonsense with “might” does not make it any less nonsense.

Well, ones like “Mortimer Q. Snodgrass might be the culprit” do.
