Nobody was arguing that Hinton should be listened to uncritically. You were the one asserting that he should not be listened to at all.

With respect, you seem to be shifting goalposts, from the indefensible (Hinton doesn't know what he's talking about) to the irrelevant (Hinton doesn't have perfect and complete knowledge of the future).
