Have read people on here inferring things like distance to target based on speed of described assets and timing of stages. You can do a lot with a little info and reasoned guesses.

It was insane to read him interpreting Bhattacharya's comments on Olsen-Kennedy as a commitment to open science, rather than anti-trans "science."
