The summation of what you are saying is that I am wrong because lots of people with power made an opposing decision and that I should just read a Wikipedia page because reasons.
That's asinine. I could just as easily give you an Amazon listing for an entire book making a case for nuclear energy, tell you to just read that without giving an explanation of why, and that really wouldn't be much different from what you are telling me. It proves nothing.
Why are you even on HN if you want to avoid real discussion? Do you know why I and nearly everyone else here includes snippets from the pages they link to? It's because no one has time to read that shit if they have no context.
Can you even make a single point to back up your position? What you've shared is barely even a citation; a citation is usually in tandem with a piece of information or an abstract of the source being cited. You shared a hyperlink. Goodie for you.
You know what, I don't even really care if you are right because you wrote as if I'm a dunce who should "get started" learning about the facts around the subject. Are you kidding me? You turned a blind eye to my points and then have the gall to say imply I'm ignorant because you have a Wikipedia page? You're being a total jerk.
Instead of reducing what I said to a "personal opinion" that I am trying to "pass off" that is "baseless", you could have respectfully disagreed even without a reason and included that Wikipedia page, and there was a chance I might have read it. But you had to be a jerk. If you still don't get this, then you're on the wrong website.
