The point is to win debate tournaments. In particular, it is (or at least was, when I competed in policy debate in high school and college in the 00s) strategically advantageous to maximize the number of distinct arguments, each with their

I think you're being profoundly uncharitable in that characterization of the author's work here, in that if you read the paper (and, really, even just the abstract), you'll see that they clearly understand the existence of su

On the other hand, your post "rinks" of a general ignorance of labor history in the US, where unions have (at least, historically) been able to support each other across industries and facilitate class solidarity amongst workers.

It seems very silly to write an article like this without a single mention of the fact that CPR is only performed on people who are already dead, so any success rates and complications (eg broken ribs) have to be understood in the context o

Is the joke here that if you lie to people (on the Internet or otherwise), they’ll take it at face value for a little bit and then decide you’re either a moron or an asshole once they realize their mistake?

Do you have a citation for the rationality of e^pi - pi? I couldn't find anything alluding to anything close to that after some cursory googling, and, indeed, the OEIS sequence of the value's decimal expansion[1] doesn't have
