I see many, many tech people take an extremely simple position on a topic contrary to general knowledge.

Then they say something like 'I believe in strongly held beliefs, held weakly'.

I'm so bored of debating people with opinions on things they've spent zero time researching or even thinking about. Just say you don't know. It's okay.

this is like complaining about small talk. small talk is meant to draw people in. same with saying outrageous things. no one wants to chat in depth immediately and saying wild things draws a crowd.

no one is going to talk with you if you're drawing out all the nuance of medical regulation (nearly an 5k essay to broach) with nuance.

Then why should anyone talk with you about it? What would be the point?
