Warning: Some posters may regard this advice as an act of terrorism (in moral equivalence if not by that label).
'Terrorism' is strong, but it is a pet peeve of mine when people present knowledge they know is contentious as though it were obvious, so this did annoy me considerably and lower my opinion of the poster. (I am more or less neutral on the question of whether it is good advice or not; I do not go to bars, so it does not affect me.)
Roko merely claimed the knowledge. He/she didn't claim that the knowledge was obvious.
