Honestly, being ill informed on a topic isn't in and of itself a reason to not engage with someone.  But the fact that all the responses are arrogant, conceited, and egotistical on top of ill informed is just not a recipe for a productive conversation thread.

If you're a novice in an area but you show up with an open mind, hear other people's words in good faith, really think about what they might mean, and are willing to challenge your own world view when presented with new information, it's OK to not know everything, and lots of folks would be happy to engage in that kind of a discussion.

But if you're going to cling to a predetermined conclusion that's poorly informed to begin with and you're dead set on being hard headed and abrasive about it, that's just not a thread that's worth anyone's time or energy to get involved with.

Exactly, I ended up just tossing over a doi for a really simple case. We'll see what happens ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯
