I believe there are 2 competing versions of string theory---one has 13 spatial and one temporal dimension, the other 27 spatial and 2 temporal dimensions.

So trying to "make up my own mind" would be useless.

Same thing with all the COVID research. Non-professionals have some familiarity with medical issues usually through an experience or two, but in no way does that make them any more qualified to "make up their own mind" than it would for string theory.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
Exactly, best, most logical post ever. .....and a better analogy than I could EVER dream of.....Kudos!!!!!!
