I love how disingenuous people often use the term &quot;rational.&quot; Like anyone who disagrees must be some irrational loon and there&#x27;s no room for debate here. Its sad that even on HN, such namecalling is convincing to many with the upvote button.<p>Anytime I see commentary that include words &quot;rational,&quot; &quot;logical,&quot; or the term &quot;man of science&quot; I know I&#x27;m at least dealing with someone reductionist, pedantic, and usually extremist or marginalized.
