How does this prove there are no delayed effects that take decades to accumulate to be noticeable, that’s it close enough to zero to not worry about?

It doesn't, obviously, since it's not possible to prove a negative. Much like there's nothing that proves that you won't begin to be able to fly if you stand on one leg long enough. If what you've been shown so far is insufficient evidence for you, then I'm afraid you're on your own. I don't need to play the "how about this" moving goalpost game.

  > I don't need to play the "how about this" moving goalpost game. This seems like a non sequitor, Why does your opinion of which ‘games’ allegedly exist, or not, matter? It doesn’t seem possible for your written opinions to ever outweigh any other HN user’s…?

    Do a lot of things seem like non sequiturs to you?
    - MichaelZuo 2y ago
      I’ll shorten it and repeat in case you didn’t understand: Why does your opinion on ‘games’, in any comment whatsoever, matter more than any other HN user’s?
      - margalabargala 2y ago
        Because you say so, apparently?
        MichaelZuo 2y ago
        Yes… my opinions are my ‘say so’… just like how your opinions are your ‘say so’. The same for everyone else… Can you answer the previous questions?
        margalabargala 2y ago
        I've answered your previous questions to my satisfaction.
        MichaelZuo 2y ago
        Not to my satisfaction… which is just as important, or as unimportant, as your satisfaction. Hence why I asked a followup question in the first place…?
        margalabargala 2y ago
        Well that's obviously wrong. We're discussing my choice of actions. Doing your research for you, or answering your questions. My satisfaction is far, far, far, far more important than yours when it comes to my choice of action.

        How does that matter to someone else asking questions? I can’t even imagine a scenario where it would matter, other than if you got to control whether other users can click the reply button or not. Edit: You may choose to ignore, deflect, or just leave, but the questions, and the button, will still be there regardless.

        Exactly. Why would that matter to someone else asking questions? Have a think.
