Who decides what is plausible?

Definition of plausible

1 : superficially fair, reasonable, or valuable but often specious a plausible pretext

2 : superficially pleasing or persuasive a swindler … , then a quack, then a smooth, plausible gentleman — R. W. Emerson

3 : appearing worthy of belief the argument was both powerful and plausible

Before 1995 was it plausible that the universe was expanding at an accelerating rate? Reality does not care what humans think is plausible.

Who decides what is and is not "Plausible"? Who thought it was "plausible" that the rate of expansion of the universe was increasing? Reality does not and cannot give a damn what people think is plausible. Atheists just think that lack of imagination is equivalent to intelligence and admitting ignorance is a sign of stupidity. Unfortunately agnosticism is the only logical position. LOL
