> Well, then, with all due respect, if you already know of other options, why are you asking? If someone engages in a conversation with me and presents a thought, I would like them to present it fully. If there are obvious flaws or implications, I try to reflect them, both so I can be sure I correctly understood the other party, and to give them a chance to fill in those holes. I do not wish to just inject my own ideas everywhere, I want to understand people as they express themselves. Seems like a pretty normal way to talk to other humans to me. > Who cares? Even if you cannot "measure" (whatever that means) the alternatives, the fact still remains that people are drawing conclusions from incorrect and invalid data. And because you are declaring the data incorrect and invalid that means it is so? You will either have to share your research credentials which allow you to judge it as such, or you'll have to answer the obvious questions that come after such a statement (e.g. "how can you prove that?"). It's pretty normal in science that instead of people just blurting out thoughts which are taken as truths, we reflect on ideas and ask questions that help us get to a better understanding divided from our subjective point of view. If the best you can come up with is "well, it's obviously true, duh" then your thought isn't as good as you think. > It's enough to point out that a thing is wrong You are wrong. There, I said that you are wrong - does that make you wrong? If not, is there maybe some system by which we can determine whether you're right or wrong? Your response to this question is "no need, I am right".
