Bravo! If any post deserves to be on main, it’s this entry, as it expresses what a lot of people think, here and elsewhere.
EDIT: To clarify, the productive discussion that will hopefully ensue would go a long way to either address or validate the arguments presented, and to help evaluate the degree of cultishness of the forum for those of us not yet absolutely convinced either way.
Thanks. Glad you like it. I did put some work into it. I also have a habit of keeping epistemic hygiene by not generating a hypothesis first then cherry-picking examples in support of it later, but that gets a lot of flak outside scientific or engineering circles.
