People who say: “I think science doesn’t support either way yet (and I don’t want to make wild guesses about sensitive topics)”?
That sounds completely sober, mainstream, and establishment. (Think of medicine.)

Will_Newsome is an example of someone who has worn the occasional clown suit here; not about this topic, mind you.
