If you're a sufficiently intelligent person, you can frame said interesting things in such a way that it establishes your position w.r.t crypto. It's like a sort of chess. If you're a sufficiently intelligent person, you can recognize arguments like "you oppose X, but you do not acknowledge Y. And Y exists. Therefore, you are disingenuous: you are not candid or sincere, you're pretending that you don't know Y. Therefore nobody should listen to you about X.' Um… I oppose X. At this stage, not interested in Y. And I keep running into arguments that are trying to shut me up about X… by any means necessary, including flat-out sophistry of every possible description. And this becomes an intellectual game. How can this NOT be fascinating to Hacker News readers? :)
