    “I really just don’t want to sit and argue with you.”

    … so you proceed to write a treatise?

    “You can call that rabbit-hole diving or tangential if you want. I call it critical thinking.”

    that should make you feel better, and accurate though and maybe.

    We have nine computer scientists talking about facts.

    One of which goes one step further.

    you think that maybe he is wrong.

    based on you thinking that maybe he is wrong.

    fine. maybe he is.

    doesn’t change anything about the other eight scientists linked or any of the relevant facts.

    “probably at too much length at this point.”

    definitely, with some unnecessary redundancy.

    "I’m not interested in an extended argument "

    yeah, I can tell by all your rehashed arguments that you’re not interested in arguing.

    thanks for those.

      This is exactly what I said. The claimed evidence doesn’t match the publicly available figures, and the rest is wild speculation with no particular backing. Almost as if “using your own critique” and testing extraordinary claims against known facts before absorbing them, is a good thing to do.

      I’m going to return to not arguing with you, after this, but I just wanted to share that a trusted authority agrees with me exactly about how to treat the claims made your first couple of messages.

        dude, you’re not arguing with me, you’re agreeing with me.

        but I’m glad for it.
