I know arguing against this fellow is like minting karma, but is it really getting anywhere?
I'm not giving up yet - I'm fairly sure spuckblase is smart, he just doesn't have a good background in the philosophy of science, much less Bayes' Theorem. In any case, if I'm being perfectly frank, karma is not my motive.
In all unseriousness, you're new to the community and have already linked to tvtropes, XKCD, and EY's old posts. If you're not out for karma, I don't know what you're playing at.
Nah, he was around on OB. His post on the welcome thread explains all (well, not all, but it's consistent with his posting history and claimed motivation).
What Cyan said (look for comments under the name "Robin_Z" - those are me, probably). Also, I've been an Internet dork since before TV Tropes existed - I've got at least three ranks in "Computer Use: Internet Forumite", a high-speed Internet connection over a wireless network both at school and at home, and a buttload of bookmarks primed to throw at almost any situation.
(Also, I'm in that early stage of Internet site usage where I obsessively follow every new comment and blog post to the community, which explains the high comment rate.)
