I find that I’m beginning to see a trend. Perhaps an early one to the majority of people (millions of users rather than the internet literate hacker news people). And that is to hold a position “your information is bad” without saying what their basis for comparison is.

I’m all for people making a stand. But if there’s no rebuttal, I will remain unconvinced.

I notice a trend where HN comments are intentionally vague. What exactly is your point here?
Let me make a point... A couple centuries ago the similar story unfolded with some Galileo fella. I understand a few chaps were even burnt at stake (yikes!). The spat was about some astrophysical matter, and it was obvious to everybody that the guy is spreading misinformation. Just a little problem - turns out Galileo dude was actually right. Sorry ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ...

So, how do you know you are even on the right side here if instead of debating the matters you just want to shut the guy up?
