Have you considered this is exactly the kind of narrow-mindedness they're probably talking about? If I had written the parent post, that's what I would mean by that. This simple-minded paranoia that any proposal from anyone else is secretly an evil plot to take over the world is ridiculous.

I don't think they're saying, "this person is secretly plotting to take over the world". I think they're saying, "have you considered that this is actually a hard problem and not as simple as you make it out to be?"
- mistermann 4y agoTo be fair, thinking and writing without error (on topics like this) is hard, and it's rather culturally frowned upon here and elsewhere.
