To be fair, it was a qualified dismissal (a proof by counter example, essentially) followed by color (or off-color) commentary. There's probably more polite ways of saying "this is the typical bias of non-stem core commentators on stem core issues". But we can't all to polish our submissions to essay or press release standards, and devaluing negative off-hand remarks will only incentivize positive off-hand remarks, i.e. sycophancy. Take these as off-hand remarks on the concept of civil discussion. I fully acknowledge your role and experience as the relevant qualified expert.
