Do you have an agenda or you just can't think on your own?

By your own description you should up your game a little before writing off some argument as "laughable".

When the only criticism to "a cloud inside your head" is "laughable" I can't help to think it comes either from malice or ignorance. A real argument should carry more weight. (And I realize this goes both ways).

I know, but the bias to think that it's malice or ignorance is much stronger than it ought to be, so if we don't all consciously practice the benefit of the doubt, things are guaranteed to get acrimonious.

Did you actually read my post? What is my thesis? What was the argument I was presenting?
