Any time someone says something won't work, what they should be saying is "No one has figured out how to make this work yet".

  Unless you're asserting that you have figured it out, I don't understand why you'd point this out.

    Because I hate the negativity.

    Because negativity is a bane on scientific progress. People who claim something can't be done are foolish. Claiming a negative - claiming something you can't prove - is anti-intellectual at best, downright ignorant at worst. There is no need to claim something can't be done. It serves absolutely no purpose. The only possible outcome that negativity can have is to stop someone from trying, when really - thats the heart of scientific discovery. We can't fly, we can't break the sound barrier, we can't we can't we can't. History is full of people who claim we can't. But history forgets those people, and remembers the ones who actually did.
