Which Internet rule is it which states that we can all claim we have been any occupation that suits the discussion, and without any additional evidence to support such claims?

The assumption of honesty on HN. I really don't get anything out of this place, and afaik I'm not even contactable. But yeah, if you don't believe me, feel free to look at a bunch of financial statements and lavish over as many models as you like. Check ARPU numbers or read up on the history of your own markets. In true finance fashion, do your diligence and reach your own conclusions. It's a lot less morality based once you look at the numbers. It's just business.

  More non-points. To summarize your statement: "I am correct because I have read the data. Since you have not read the data, you should go read the data, because then, and only then, will you see that I am correct. Until then, just accept that I am correct." I still reject your claims because you have not provided any meaningful measure of support for them.

    Feel free to reject them. You'll still only truly know when you see the data. If I knew the world was round, and you kept saying it was flat - why would I have any reason to do more than let you know it wasn't so?

Translation: I don't really have good arguments against NN except for a couple one-liners I'm reading off some Free Market (tm) blog, so I'll attack who you are instead of what you're saying.

  It seems notable that you consider an unverified attempt to be an expert as acceptable, but pointing out someone engaging in this behavior is not.
