A random observation I want to note here is the relative lack of good disagreement I’ve seen around questions of SARS-CoV-2 origin. I’ve mostly seen people arguing past each other or trying to immediately dismiss each other. This seems true of experts in the space in addition to non-experts. I’d love to see better structured disagreement, i.e. back and forth in journals or other public forums. This might be a good topic for adversarial collaboration.
