The difficulty is that, Elon Musk notwithstanding, reversing, or undoing, the lies that have been made truth by repetition is an almost impossible task. These "truths" have now entered into the consciousness of the nation. One hears them almost daily being cited by both left and right as received and incontrovertible wisdom. The corruption of science produces some of the worst examples. The damage to the nation - intentionally visited by the most extreme elements over a period of years, is so profound that it will take a terrible crisis to cauterize the wounds and start a long process of rehabilitation.
