Having been in his lectures in the past, he is the kind of person who teach you to question what you are told/taught. You should know he basically does the same thing to the field of ML (as this does to HEP). You know, when I first read this thread and the 3 posts involved, I find the original post Ben wrote arrogant and hard to swallow. But once I searched who he is, and recognized him, knowing his character I immediately “get his point”. While not an expert in the fields, I have both graduate level educations in HEP and ML. My point is that my conclusion is unlikely due to the lack of understanding of these fields, but more because of my understanding of who he is… Admittedly, he should not assume people read it as he intended how people would perceive. It took a lot of contextualizations, including the expectation from the title he explained in the later posts, to really take his posts seriously.
