Well, if you don't try to learn, you won't learn. I learned something from you in this thread. You mentioned 3 professors who are apparently exceptions to your usual view of professors being somewhat more evil than Satan. Only one of them I'd ever heard of, so I looked the other two up. So, I learned something about them and their views. So I don't think it was pointless and stupid.
Similarly, I learned something from DaLincolnJones in another thread today, about an incident with Brennan in 2012. I haven't completely figured out what it is I've learned on that one yet, but it's something to look into further.
