Racewar threads are off topic on the grounds of ultimate tediousness.

All it leads to is flamewars, and no flamewar will ever resolve any of it. Meanwhile it poisons what we do care about: intellectual curiosity, and civil, substantive discussion.

Gwern has a nice bit somewhere about how you can either devote your entire life to this stuff or give up. Most of us, the vast majority, have given up. The rest of you true believers can take your stone tablets with "Science" engraved on them to some place where the audience actually likes it.
