you think it's strange that some people are going to flag controversial takes on the front page of hacker news?

  How are the takes of 2 Turing winners that created the technology you are using right now controversial? You assign exactly 0% probability they are right because of ____?

    Saying that a take is controversial doesn't mean I assign exactly 0% probability they are right. I might even agree with them. Also, just because someone is a 'Turing winner' doesn't mean they can't have controversial takes. Also I'm not defending the ones flagging the posts, I'm just saying it's expected that any controversial take that gets a lot of views will probably get flagged a lot.

      So rationality says that if 2 out of 3 (66%) of those that created a technology insist on the same thing, the controversial view is of those that don't agree with it.
