Why, thank you for such a devastatingly convincing argument. However I wasn’t trying to discuss Iran with you—that seems to be pretty useless—I was just pointing out that your assertion that “anyone acquainted with the facts… should come to the same conclusion” is false.
In fact, such an assertion is very common for people who are not capable of imagining how anyone could possibly hold a different view. On LW such people are called mind-killed.
What discussion is possible if “anyone acquainted with the facts… should come to the same conclusion” and people disagreeing with you “really are in [their] own delusional universe”?
That comment was simply mirroring what you said to polymathwannabe; that they must be in a different universe to disagree with you. You still have only provided lazy snark rather than substance.
Sigh. OK, we live in different universes. I wish you luck in yours.
You really are in your own delusional universe if you think the revolution had nothing to do with removing the foreign-imposed dictator.

You didn’t cite any evidence before declaring that polymathwannabe was wrong. You aren’t actually engaging the discussion at all.

He needs less luck than you since his contains the President of the United States and most of academia.
I don’t quite see how that implies he needs less luck. If anything, I think he’s more screwed X-)
