We have to be very firm on reality. DEWs absolutely exist, there is no "almost certainly" about it. But firmness has to be carefully distinguished from being doctrine. It has to be rooted in evidence and empiricism. Fond fancies must be held at arm's length if the evidence and logic are lacking. That requires intellectual integrity.
Also, blue roofs would not deter a DEW, since anything dark is open game for them. Easy target. It is all a matter of open-fire intensity. I can maybe hold my hand in the flame of a spirit lamp indefinitely...but it is a different story if I change to a gasoline fire.
More knowledge. Which may mean more books and fewer videos. People conclude things are true on the basis of superficial association and bias, not on rigorous logic and evidence.
