This is a bad article. I expected better from 538.
“No evidence” is a major epistemic red flag.
“People are saying, ‘Why do it with no evidence?& #39;” Cowling said. “And others are saying, ‘Why wouldn’t you do it if there’s no evidence?’” https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/science-has-no-clear-answers-on-the-coronavirus-face-masks-are-no-exception/">https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/...

I could steelman this use of “no evidence”, and I won’t.
This use is actively misleading. Instead of quoting two different experts and making a facile point about risk compensation, why not *walk through* the evidence?
The article is net confusing.

Have we covered this one yet?
My best guess is they are right that it doesn’t matter, but “no evidence” is still dumb!
https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/fda-says-no-wipe-down-154046778.html
“no">https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle... evidence of human or animal food or food packaging being associated with transmission of the coronavirus that causes COVID-19,”

Omg I can’t even.
A different uncertain situation, but in this case the line isn’t “no evidence”, it’s “all available evidence”.
