"Michael, why, oh why, are you still sprouting that Reeves rubbish about the symbolism of dew?"

"I am always intrigued by how people are drawn to pseudo-facts"

Do you really not find any tone of denunciatory scouting scornfulness in the above, Mike? "Rubbish"; "pseudo-facts": scarcely the usages of moderate rational argument, it seems to me. If they are not scoutingly scornful, then I reckon they will do till some scouting scornfulness comes along.

I didn't claim to "know" anything; this started because I simply referred to someone's (Reeves') speculations as I thought some might not have come across them and might find them interesting: which you proceeded, without further provocation of any kind, to denounce [I use the word advisedly] as "rubbish". And you didn't realise you might appear to be scouting scornfully? Oh, come on!...
