Yes, I'm combining two distinct things here— but both problems have the same characteristics, and might separate out some clusters of contrarians by the heuristics they favor. The fact that one of these heuristics might be "sit down and actually work out the problem yourself" isn't a bad feature.
EDIT: Oops, "confute" doesn't mean "combine" at all.
You might have been thinking of "conflate".
Yep, that's the one. ETA: Thanks!
