You fail to understand how science works, and you also fail to understand how business works. Here you think an anecdote somehow makes for a consensus. Yeah, that's not how things work. Your fictions are not worthy of discussion. Stop pushing BS. It's disrespectful at best. It is not ok to do so on this forum.
