Oh. Well, since you said, "End of story", I guess you're right after all. That was a powerful argument there, I am in awe.

- ebf 14y agoIs it okay to push ideas without evidence, specifically ideas that are not presented as an opinion? This is a much bigger fault I have with the Hacker News and the tech community at large lately. People are agreeing with (and to crudely put it, "circlejerking") ideas that are presented as truths, even though they are NOT backed by any data. If the author prefaced his points by stating that this is his or her opinion, I would not be as snarky because then it would be merely be opinion that I disagree with. This presentation of ideas is laughed at when done in academic circles, yet for some reason, it's okay when it's posted to Hacker News, TechCrunch, Daring Fireball or whatever random blog or news source people read and tend to agree with. I do not find this acceptable, and I think we should hold people accountable to ideas they push, especially when they are backed by ZERO data.
