They’re not arguing in good faith. Especially not BushRat. Wymike is committed to the sunk cost fallacy. He has latched onto “this can’t be legitimate” as an attachment and will not be moved. Neither engages with the salient points I make. Wymike is now hyperfocused on the fact that my blind trials weren’t double blind as if that somehow isolates some variable.
Basically wymike is always going to be an asshole scientist, as opposed to just being a scientist.
Maybe someday he will figure out the scientists equivalent to the doctors “bedside manner”.
