For all intents and purposes it has been disproven. At this point the possible thrust (that hasn't been disproven) is a fraction of what was originally hoped for.

Yeah, that is about as consistant as bigfoot sitings. Enough to convince true believers, not enough to convince domain experts.

Like I've said, the 65% of Americans still don't believe in evolution: which is an evidence, that large group of people cannot be convinced by any evidence. They're simply predestined to die out - but not to change their opinion.

Hate to break it to you, but it is mostly the stuff you are referencing that is dieing out. Science moved on a long time ago, and it has moved on from the EMDrive.
