I find this criticism - that you would have to be arrogant to believe scientific results - both fascinating and deeply disturbing.
I'm not sure if it's an ingenious thought-terminating troll hack - raising a social complaint (which humans instinctively fear) as a sigint to abort further thinking, or just profound idiocy.
