That's the point.

Yes, we could have talked about that, if I thought the theory was empirically sound...but I don't, so we didn't.

You could have explored why the people in the thread doubt the theory by asking them to explain their position, but you didn't, cuz clearly we're heretics/toxic males to have doubt.

Shit's kinda fascinating, really. The degree to which your position mirrors one of faith-based belief is wild.
