Dutch, I'll try to lay this out step by step (a concept you do not seem to be familiar with.)
- As skeptics, we usually do not unilaterally reject any new concepts that come along
- Because we tentatively accept any thesis that comes along, it is useful to have a "quick list" of things to check a new idea against to see if it requires further study. Without such a list, we'd spend our entire lives chasing all sorts of hare-brained ideas.
- The red flags of woo is such a useful quick list
- We did a quick comparison of HDD against the red flags of woo list and discovered it hit most of the points
- Thus, we quickly determined your thesis did not provide anything useful
- You protested our rejection was premature and insisted that there was something useful to HDD
- Therefore we pulled out a second and more comprehensive tool for investigating claims, the list of logical fallacies
- A detailed comparison of HDD against the list of logical fallacies shows that HDD exhibits almost every feature on that list
- Therefore, based on a more detailed analysis of HDD, we are confident in our rejection of it
again you are talking as if you are the queen of England... or the Netherlands. Who is We?
