What you, nixtaken, wrote was a Gish gallop. What gjm wrote was a refutation. You have ignored gjm’s comment about how you misapply the word “Gish gallop”. This shows “remarkably little effort by you to address any particular feedback other than to hand wave it away.”
So I did that in this post, but then I was told by dustin [sic] that I’ve written something too glaringly obvious yet clearly incorrect and controversial. Instead of using specific examples from published papers, I used analogies and I was criticized for that as well.
You have not refuted Dustin. You have not even failed to refute Dustin. You misrepresented Dustin’s comment and then did not even contradict your self-contradictory misrepresentation of Dustin’s comment that your post is “glaringly obvious yet clearly incorrect”. In this way, your writing continues to demonstrate “remarkably little effort by you to address any particular feedback other than to hand wave it away.”
There seems to be no winning with a crowd that doesn’t like to see their favorite team (science) painted in a less than glowing light. I think that some of the elders of your community might be needed to help teach these people that science isn’t about team loyalty, it is about a method, and that is what I’ve been writing about.
