> Let’s be honest though, it’s a lack of nuance in some world views that need science as an authority the most.

I agree but if they're flat earthers they've already rejected established science, so what's that appeal to authority going to do?

This is why "trust the science" is so memeable, it's a lazy appeal to authority the other party has already told you they don't trust and yet people are shocked when this argument doesn't work.
