> you're generally wrong, but I won't say exactly what, because you're so very wrong It's normally actually "there are a number of things wrong here but I don't have the time/energy/motivation to go into them". That information can still be useful and isn't always just consensus building (which is admittedly a widespread problem). On an unrelated note, you might want to recheck this: Also, most probably according to those figures the war in Afghanistan also didn't cost more than a few hundred million. I also suspect the majority of commentators consider your epistemology to be completely broken and fixing that is a time investment far beyond what they can commit to. On the remote chance you'd actually interested in fixing it, the Less Wrong one (Sequences) might be very flawed, but HN will agree its better than what you've currently got.
