You don't want to address actual people so you talk about a Venn diagramm you made up, and you have several theories, so I guess not one of them is what you actually think. Prove me wrong. You can't have two opinions, so is either one of those "theories" your opinion, or is neither? You see, I'm not being snarky when I'm being short, I'm giving the reader the benefit of the doubt. I can expand and substantiate everything I hint at, or I wouldn't hint at it. And also see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weasel_word https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weasel_word and then notice how HN is positively gushing with super-couched "arguments", in any thread. "I'm not entirely sure it would be impossible to theorize that"... it's like the only subjects many people are comfortable with talking about with any level of attention or intellectuality are those that are purely technical, i.e. where person doesn't need to have position. With anything that can't be decided by reading specs or benchmarks, wishy-washy stuff comes out, and doesn't get defended either. It just keeps getting posted, and calling it out may get downvoted -- as if showing something to mean nothing is worse than writing something that means nothing [0] -- but no actual defense, at most one half-assed attempt and when that is refuted, no conceding of a point either.. rinse, repeat. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sealioning https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sealioning https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZ2AH7u_9Xo&t=1m10s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZ2AH7u_9Xo&t=1m10s > the ways in which we were turning politics into economics, and allowing our faculty of reason to be denigrated into a faculty of calculation ... which might lead a person to think that being in the majority makes them right, or that an imaginary Venn diagram describes all sorts of real people, or that truth is decided by votes, or that the wisdom with which someone votes makes a quantum leap when they reach 500 karma. Among other things. [0] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18759743 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18759743
