It's reverse psychology. Surely, if they are in the field, they want it to be true. I frequently find myself invariably assuming a contrarian position in debate just to provoke more arguments, effectively contradicting myself over the course of different debates. In that sense, I just wanna know if that has a name in psychology as a normal or pathological condition. I mean, it might be purely rhetorical. Also, if it's not "crypto season", what is it actually, nano, cryo, opto, ..?
