Or maybe, and just maybe, the whole ‘stages of grief’ concept is not actually predictive of which opinion is actually right, and it’s just a cheap rhetorical trick providing an excuse to patronizingly dismiss someone else’s scepticism towards an idea.

- mumblemumble 5y agoTrue, but whether or not something is a joke and whether or not it is rhetorically misleading are orthogonal characteristics.
- brokenkebab 5y agoI don't think it's misleading. I read the OP comment as a humorous warning that we should be cautious around arguments which very probably came out of wish to defend beloved PL. These opinions often bring interesting thoughts, but more often then not they are built as "I need to proof X, therefore I select facts for it"
