The author is very cross that people aren't infinitely tolerant of endlessly disproven bullshit.
Some questions have these things called "answers." We don't need to be open-minded about topics like psychic powers, vaccines, homeopathy, or quantum physics. The boundaries of their efficacy are well fucking explored. No stone was left unturned. Either they're real - and their implications have become engineering and practice - or they're nonsense. If we could make use of them, we would.
Fuck off, crank.
