Hypotheses are made for a reason though. Science is still about finding what's true, and ruling out what's not is part of the process/method for doing so. Sometimes all the alternatives to the truth are ruled out and we know the truth. Scientific revolutions happen sometimes, but they still need to explain everything the old theories explained. The newer theories may still be wrong, but in different and hopefully fewer ways. It's important to keep the scope of what's been demonstrated/tested in mind to not be misled about what truths have been established. Newton's physics is still largely true within the scope of everyday experience, for example.

I was hoping someone would know why it was blocked as malware, thinking it might be compromised and that people should be warned. VT says it's safe though so it's likely a mistake. Not sure what you mean about traceability. You could check the github.

Such bans are rare, and usually get reversed if it was only triggered due to Linux.

If you want to avoid fingerprinting you should use tor-browser. And using a chromium-based browser over tor makes you more fingerprintable, not less.

Neither was omitting Putin's admission that he wanted Trump to win from the Whitehouse transcripts.

It's not a big deal. You can just hit K on any you're not sure about to see the help. Might need to set keywordprg=:help.
