There was a post on HN about this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38968619 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38968619 Essentially, they aren't lying. In fact, they're responding rationally because: 1. Anyone can construct a logical sequence of arguments (see: Everyone thinks they are logical) 2. Blindly accepting logical sequence of arguments will get you a lot of incorrect results 3. Therefore, being initially skeptical of even logical-seeming things that contradict what you "know" is rational. "Words? Anyone can say anything with those - why should I believe those?"
