  • You think that a majority of humans are dumber than most humans, which says about as much as I think I need to know about your critical thinking skills.

    My defense (defense of what?) was not “butbut there are a lot of them!” (why did you use “there are” and then “there is” in subsequent sentences?). Rather than defending anything, I was pointing out how you wrote something stupid. The larger the group you are talking about, the less precise you can be and the less likely what you are saying is accurate. You managed to choose one of the largest targets you possibly could demographically and wrote a sweeping generalization which is just stupid. I don’t have to defend anything: you have to defend writing something so stupid and you can’t because it’s just stupid. You write stupid things.

    That’s correct: if you wanted an NC exclusion, I would upload it to the NCCommons, but it would not be used on Wikipedia, etc. Whatever you chose to do is obviously 100% legit, no pressure. You may want to consider how having a photo out there on Wikipedia could be marketing for you as well.

    I am genuinely disappointed that on an ostensibly science-related message board I see comments along the lines “this isn’t actually true, but it kinda-sorta is, therefore, inaccurate claims somehow aren’t misinformation”. If all kinds of counter-factual things were true, then all kinds of things would be true: what is the point of this hand-waving to defend something that is riddled with untruths? Also, with whom did he purportedly share these documents? In 22 words, this person got no fewer than two things wrong and you are carrying water for what reason?
