I don't think it was so bad to post something that spurred such a discussion. It wasn't off-topic, just wrong (or Not Even Wrong) in an argument-worthy way.

Normally, I think karma is a reasonably good guide to writing here, but in this case I find myself both approving of the fact that you posted this, and approving of the massive downvoting (which I added to). Odd.

Thanks, as I wrote here, I'll just listen and learn now. Next time I'll hopefully think about it, if I might actually be able to add something valuable. This is certainly not the usual forum where some uneducated guy like me can just chat about anything he might not even understand properly. Which is very good, less noise.

I'm happy the original quote at least caused some debate.
