Unfortunately reality doesn't always work out the way maths intended it to. Almost all the ones I've gotten had many of them broken. Makes for slick marketing though.

I think the only thing that is really pumpkin about pumpkin spice is the association with pumpkin pie. Pumpkin on its own doesn't have much flavor though so it would taste like whatever you put on it. If the combination weren't used in Pumpkin pie as much as it is, it probably wouldn't even be called pumpkin spice.

It's averaged out, the real values are in a range, they just took the average between them.

All 3 states exist at the same time, rapidly alternating between them.

Don't fluids conform to the shape of their container? In a sense both fluid and gas would be conforming but solid wouldn't be because solids don't conform to the shape of their container.

Was going to say exactly that, not all lead came from radioactive decay. So this kind of ruins their debunk, Earth's age has been measured by the amount of lead.

Let's also not forget that Scientists are also humans. Humans with their own beliefs and biases which do get transferred into studies. Peer review can help reduce that but since peers are also humans with their own biases, but also common biases shared amongst humans it's not bulletproof either.

There will always be some level of bias which clouds judgement, or makes you see/think things that aren't objectively true, sometimes it comes with good intention, others not so much. It's always there though, and probably always will be. The key to good science is making it as minimal as possible.

I mean those things didn't change, it was just about how research was manipulated by money and human biases.

Don't feel too bad, that person is a troll who's been known to start trouble with others over very little or stupid things.
