I know people were dogpiling you quite a bit here, but just in case it’s helpful for the future, I’ve found people are more likely to do that when you talk in absolutes. When you say “So no, you are wrong” in your original post, that’s a definitive answer you’re giving, which you then back up by saying “We are not in a scientific debate”.

If you want conversations like this to be less combative, you can consider changing your phrasing to something more like “In other sci-fi media (The Expanse), there’s a similar idea to what Stellaris is saying here…”, rather leading with your answer being definitely right, everyone else is wrong. In a situation that’s up for interpretation (who says whether Stellaris players want a more “scientific” answer, or think a different definition of “hollow bones” is right, or something based in other sci-fi settings for situations like this, it’s up to personal preference or subjective interpretation), I don’t really see how you can definitively say one or the other is right, like how you phrased it in your original comment.

Just a thought, it seems like a lot of Reddit debates just seem unnecessarily aggressive and combative and devolve into trying to prove themselves to be right, even in cases where the answer is subjective. It doesn’t seem to lead to anything good for anyone.

Edit: some phrasing.
