We see the attempted suppression of physics (by supposed engineers) on tech threads all the time here at Free Republic.
The speed at which a vehicle attains maximum fuel efficiency is a determined by a formula referencing it’s mass, gearing, and drag coefficient.
But you will find quite a lot of people here at FR who were taught some goofy shortcut in college that tries to show that speed to be relatively constant at around 55 MPH.
This is not even on the same constant as truth, and anyone who owned one of those heavy muscled family cars in the 60’s and 70’s will tell them so - but it is like talking to a wall.
So sadly this has spread beyond the social liberals.

***I see science suppression on FR sometimes as well, mostly on crevo threads but often on energy-related threads.
