As to whether 'bullshit' is justified, I dunno. I just see that as being a bit blunt phrasing-wise.
- sdoering 5y agoThat bluntness was the reason I clearly marked it as my personal opinion and not that of the scientific community. I like bluntness, as it often helps to cut to the core of things. But I try as best I can not to be blunt against people, but ideas/hypotheses.
