  >>Absolutely nothing happens when you microwave a glass of water that wouldn't also happen [...] You can roll your eyes all you like it won't make that true. The parent made a general statement for which I believe there to be clear factual objection which I mentioned. The only logical contradiction would be to show the falsehood of such objection. I did consider saying "obviously this isn't the mechanism here" but I think the take-away is that you shouldn't make universal statements that are obviously false. This does actually then have a bearing on the matter in hand. If the universal is false then it opens the path for other unknown mechanisms to be considered that may also contradict such a universal statement. If people are willing to make such demonstrably false claims at such a low level then trusting them to clearly and accurately present the more complex situations becomes extremely difficult [for me]. Perhaps I'm unique in this but if you lie to me about one thing then I'm disinclined to believe you about another.
