His opinion is starting from a vastly different set of facts than most of the people commenting here. He thinks the discussion is about provable facts.

If you're convinced discussion with someone is a lost cause, the best thing to do is likely something other than flying into a mouthfrothing nerdrage at them. Surely something you've also noticed through experience in online arguments.
