17. I did, because that's often what I see in your posts.

Oh, it's thinly veiled as "critical thinking," of course--but most critical thinkers I know aren't quite so quick to employ the argumentum ad verecundiam and argumentum ad ignoratiam fallacies.

But let's be honest: You've already decided that I'm "anti-science" or a "woo" or a "conspiracy theorist"--which I find amusing, given my advanced technical degree and 20+ years of employment in an extremely evidence-driven profession--so why bother pretending otherwise?

Scientism is not the same thing as skepticism.

Edited to add: That being said, I do enjoy your snark and your ability to completely disarm irrational posters with a 1- or 2-line post. So nothing personal on my end! :hi: I simply think your approach to anti-corporate criticism is deeply flawed.
