I do not want an epistemic culture that finds it acceptable to challenge an individuals overall credibility in lieu of directly engaging with their arguments.
I don’t think this is realistic. There is much more important knowledge than one can engage with in a lifetime. The only way of forming views about many things is to somehow decide who to listen to, or at least how to aggregate relevant more strongly based opinions (so, who to count as an expert and who not to and with what weight).
