> I can agree that it waggles its eyebrows
Most people across the world wouldn't raise their eyebrows, since such claims are pretty much universal throughout most civilizations.
- shadowgovt 5y agoI'd also be very careful throwing around a word as heavy as "most" when talking about something as broad and far-ranging as the collective experience of human civilizations. The [citation needed] for that is the stuff of multiple lifetimes of research.
- Fjolsvith 5y agoThe [citation needed] argument just says, "I'm going to ignore everything you present if it isn't proven, despite the fact that I've not proven my own position."
- shadowgovt 5y agoMy position is simply to be skeptical of these assertions. People throw around a lot of unsourced claims; skepticism is often a correct response. There's nothing for one to prove when one's own position is "I'm not convinced by your argument." (For example, when the citation was provided on the claim a few layers upthread, it indeed was revealed to be wanting, as the bulk of its data relied on Internet polls).
