"Or....relentlessly debunked or razed as if there were no tomorrow.."

In that situation if something is debunked or razed terribly it also could mean it is exceedingly stupid. Don´t fall into the trap of thinking that just because a lot of people come into a thread ridiculing it, that it means anything.

But then again, you can do what some do and cover all bases; if debunkers come on to the thread, the OP must be on to something, but if they stay away, then they are afraid of the truth and the OP must be on to something.

That´s my favorite one.
