You're pathetic. You're too lazy to think outside your echo chamber, so you completely disregard it BECAUSE YOU NEED GROUP THINK TO HAVE ANY OPINION.

Again, I think you're the most pathetic type of person to exist: a person too lazy and afraid to think outside their own comfort zone.

No? You're comfortable making scientific critiques with absolute no research? Then that is literally more pathetic.

Please be civil on HN. There's never a reason to insult and attack a user regardless of the discussion.

Eh, I don't think it's unfair: this person is openly attacking me for giving attention to a form of untested science -- declaring it "crockpottery".

I honestly feel proud of myself for how much I held back on this lazy person's pathetic logic: "doesn't line up with my beliefs? then it can't be true!"

I'll happily edit my statement that can defend the scientific need to dismiss information with complete prejudice, but I doubt any such logic exists. Why do I have such confidence? Because people that dismiss information without thinking are pathetic.
