> So you have plausible deniability about claiming "X", you are just innocently raising the possibility "X?" for consideration I don't think there's much question after reading this article what the author thinks. He was fairly explicit about it. Edit: Please disregard this response. I misread (or rather, failed to carefully read) the quote. Thanks to user zaroth for pointing it out.

To be clear, the author of the post (“Scott”) in this case is quoting from a journal article against pseudoaddiction which Scott finds highly dubious. The highlighted string of theoretical questions from the article IMO greatly bolsters Scott’s case. But then again, I think it would be really hard to find an SSC post which I strenuously disagreed with. And any SSC post on moral panic and media narratives is a sure 100% winner.
