If someone wants to test a theory by jumping off a building to see if they will really die, do we praise their curiosity and be polite and civil? NO.You act like Edison saying to the ignorant crowd that Tesla idea will kill people and they are evidently absurd... Who knows if his ideas are absurd?
What is the difference between Edison and you here?
Your blindtest impossible to realize here with a blunt rejection of the person ideas in this case are bad faith ...
Your accusation here BEG THE QUESTION....I can understand that your "knowledge" could not justify your belief, but accusing him of lying is absolutely in the actual sitruation totally inappropriate...Save by arrogance...
I will go walking my steam outside.....
If someone claimed to make a perpetual motion machine, do we blindly accept their claim, or do we first explain to them why that is impossible, and then, after they show their experiment, point out all the flaws? This is what we have done, but the person is still claiming their perpetual motion machine works while refusing to validating their work, effectively saying, "trust me". This is not respectful behavior.
