When someone makes several comments that are longer than the post itself, and when the reasoning is demonstrably fallacious (weirdness criterion!?), I think it is fair to call the comment a gish gallop when that is the most economical way to express what happened.
You could have engaged on whether this was “demonstrably fallacious”. That would have been interesting to read and I would’ve upvoted a good comment of this sort.
Again, you are the one who seems to be arguing in bad faith. It is very frustrating because LW has a long history of criticizing the practice of science, and it’d be interesting to see another good discussion in that vein.
