I suspect you meant H2O rather than Hydrogen
That would have turned my analogy upside down, wwh. There isn't any O2 in H so it is impossible to extract O2 from H. Hence, one cannot "deoxygenate" hydrogen. It simply can't be done. And thinking you are doing it doesn't make it so. Similarly, it is impossible to "debunk" something which is not "bunk" in the first place. No bunk in, no bunk out.

We are completely ad idem on this, wwh. Only when ignorance or fraud is involved should these terms [bunk & debunker] be used.

"Debunking" is a noble undertaking but one doesn't need a Ph.D. to do it. "Bunk" isn't science and it isn't truth ... altho it usually masquerades as one or the other or both.

"Debunk" is a good word to describe the trashing of "bunk" or other "junk science". But let's not confuse it with the refutation of serious science or settled truths.
