- yummyfajitas 14y agoThis is an ad-hominem attack, and pointless. A person can be wrong on some topics without being wrong on every topic.
- Gigablah 14y agoFor that matter, calling Bill Gates "naive" is probably an ad-hominem attack too.
- moistgorilla 14y agoPointless? Two articles attacking two people that are held in high regard with link baity titles. I mean, come on, "Bill Gates is naive", "Nate Silver confuses cause and effect". This person is obviously trying to grab page views with whatever they can come up with. These articles could have been worded in much less offensive and aggressive ways but that wouldn't be conducive to the authors goal.
