They should be called out, by name, and publicly shamed. They won't feel shame, of course. They're proud of themselves and they think they're "right." But the rest of us know the truth - those of us who tend to be die-hard members of the "reality-based community," that is.
We all know who they are, but still, they should be called out, BY NAME. So more of those in denial have to face some facts for a change.
