You are ignorant and disrespectful and i'm higly disappointed from human to human.

"friendly enough to address these issues".

He is not part of some research group who is researching this type of topic. You assume he is a bad faith actor with your "probably not".

Either accept the status quo / research on this topic, or do the research yourself but don't take some potential conspiricy shit to hn by cheap shooting someone else with your 'probably not'.

And if you really struggle with this type of things, get help.
