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.)
