Well, yeah — it does get frustrating. I’ve dropped a ridiculous number of links to talk.origins (mostly years ago) and to various parts of the IPCC reports on climate change (two areas that I know moderately well).

It’s still worth doing. I do convince people now and then. The rate isn’t terribly good, but it’s better than zero. Heck, I’ve even convinced people that systemic racism exists by pointing out clear research on it after they’ve made dozens and dozens of posts and gotten dozens and dozens of replies, all making unsupported claims — and I don’t know the racism literature well at all.

If your goal is to plant some seeds of doubt, occasionally sway a reader or two, it’ll seem more like you’re accomplishing something than if you think you can cite one paper and all opposition will melt away like nothing.
