On what scale, the scale of thanking someone and admitting I was wrong?
What was I supposed to do, arrogantly continue to insist I was right in the face of evidence showing me otherwise? Take a video of myself on my knees and beg for forgiveness? Ignore the response entirely?
I honestly don’t understand why saying I was wrong and thank you for showing me why is so offensive.
Hanks larger point is that you can answer a lot of questions in life by being more curious than suspicious.

You mean like how I asked if there were any studies to support it?
You can be curious and suspicious.
Thank you for the links, I will read them.
Edit: You have convinced me. Thank you again.
Edit 2: I forgot that thanking someone and admitting you are wrong is the other worst thing you can possibly do on the internet.
Where does “quoting sources” and “stating facts” rank on that scale?

On the “worst things you can do on the internet” scale. Been seeing that ramping up over the last couple of days.
(I’m not the person you were initially responding to.)
It was obviously hyperbole. I just don’t know why so many people don’t like it.
And yes, I know you weren’t the original person. I think the ‘thank you’ in my post made it confusing though, so I understand why that happened.
