>This is a "normal" thing, there was a HN article about it some weeks back: often if someone has their mind made up about something, often no amount of facts, figures, logic and proof will change their minds.

I may also be imperfectly remembering what it said... so I hope I wasn't too wrong in my previous comment! Although, scanning the comments, that doesn't sound like what I remember...
