Given that you didn’t mention otherwise, I assumed that you were mostly going off priors in the absence of much domain-specific knowledge, as ThrustVectoring was. I haven’t read enough of your posts to accurately gauge how heavily to weight your opinion—if my assumption is incorrect, I’d appreciate it if you would let me know.
There is no data about long-term effects of Soylent. Everyone has only priors and nothing but priors. By the way, “domain-specific knowledge” is a prior as well.
I am not sure how are you going to gauge the proper weighting for people’s opinions. This is the internet, after all. If I tell you “I’m highly credentialed. Just trust me” :-D will that satisfy you?
On a bit more serious note I prefer arguments that stand on their own, regardless of their source (and its credibility or lack thereof). In fact, nutrition is such a screwed-up field that I would probably downgrade opinions from someone who claims to be a nutritionist...

Eh; it would be medium-strength evidence. Even though I have no way to verify what you say, I don’t think that you have any real incentive or motive to deceive me (given that simple trolls are unlikely to amass >2K karma). :P
(I think we’ve exhausted the usefulness of this subthread, so I probably won’t respond to any replies—tapping out.)
My credentials are my posts.
I don’t do arguments from authority.
