- ColanR 7y agoIt looks like the criticism boils down to, 'its really hard to test, so let's look at other theories for now'. Anything I missed?
- Sir_Cmpwn 7y agoThat interpretation of the criticism text is at best wishful thinking and at worst willful ignorance. Take off the rose colored glasses and read it again - there are several fundamental problems brought up.
- ColanR 7y agoI don't have any rose colored glasses. I read the section, found it tough to parse, stated what I understood, and asked for input. You have no reason to get rude.
- kgwgk 7y agoIf you think the only criticism is “it’s hard to test” it seems you have missed all the paragraphs in that section after the first one.
