Not sure that Colin isn't almost as much a part of the problem as of the solution. From section 9 of an article by a well regarded Belgian virologist:
"Sections 4–8 of this review followed a chronological presentation of recent developments in viral taxonomy which revealed that the field has been plagued by an uninterrupted series of conflicting views, heated disagreements and acrimonious controversies that may seem to some to be out of place in a scientific debate.
The reason, of course, is that the subject of virus taxonomy and nomenclature lies at the interface between virological science and areas of philosophy such as logic, ontology and epistemology which unfortunately are rarely taught in university curricula followed by science students (Blachowicz 2009)":
Today having a recent PhD doesn't mean you've been well educated. It means you've been well-steeped in nonsensical woke propaganda.

Description about a lack of expertise in "logic, ontology, & epistemology" seems to fit Colin to a T.
