To me, it seems like there's a failure to differentiate bad-faith skepticism.

There's malicious "I know what I'm saying is a lie / broken argument, but I'm willing to make it because my righteousness / beliefs justify winning." (Fixable with... nothing?)

But there's also ignorant "I don't understand the foundations of this information, and so arrive at an erroneous conclusion." (Fixable with education)

One of the failures of scientific proponents (especially pop scientific proponents) has been to treat the second group as synonymous with the first.
