this has nothing to do with science or good faith discussion. it has to do with control of speech and labels.

a sceptic adheres to the scientific method whether they like the results or not -- and rarely do they so casually slip into that belligerently authoritative "i know" posture.

real science requires honest questioning, a stoic resolve in the face of excitement, and the humility to listen to any answers.
