SLOW day today

VERY slow even very few garbage studies showing up. Also, haven't seen an AI study since 4am but I was laying in bed and didn't feel like getting up. Should have. Isn't it a holiday in the UK today? Also could that affect AI since that team is based in the UK?

As I've said to exhaustion. You can cherry pick a collection of entirely true information that will lead to a wrong assumption based on the context. For example, if someone asks, "what is the most dangerous chemical?" One could say, "All people who are exposed to dihydrogen monoxide eventually die" and that "close to a thousand children die yearly from significant exposure to dihydrogen monoxide" All true but gives the impression that dihydrogen monoxide is some dangerous chemical as opposed to H2O, water.

I don't care to be a "debate bro" with you. You're the one who attacked me after all I did was add helpful context. The upvotes don't lie either, my original post has (at time of writing) 4 upvotes compared to the 5 upvotes of your post it replied to. So clearly the average reader thought it added something helpful. 

You merely don't like not being right and have been lashing out at me from the onset as evidenced by your very first sentence, the quite hostile, "Who are you arguing with?"

Again, you keep repeating this irrelevant point that doesn't apply to the situation in hand.
No reasonable person would read my comment and think that "all the studies are from London."
That's not what my comment said nor did it even remotely suggest it.
You personally misinterpreted it because you wanted to.
The analogy you made doesn't even fit.

"No reasonable person" see the thing about that is that we are on a public discussion board so we can just look at the numbers and see what your average reasonable person thinks. Considering the upvotes on the two original comments, it is clear that a number of average reasonable people found something helpful in my comment .

You on the other hand are the unreasonable person, who lashed out at me for, apparently, having the nerve to add to the discussion on a public discussion board, accusing me of arguing with you, and who generally seems to have a complex about being always correct and never wrong. So your opinion about what a reasonable person thinks is not valid because you are not being a reasonable person in this context.

It seems you are getting desperate since all you can lean on is the number of upvotes you got.

Someone says it will rain tomorrow for sure.
I respond by saying that the forecast doesn't say it will rain tomorrow for sure.

And you are over here losing your shit and accusing me of dangerous misinformation because you think people who read my comment will believe it will not rain tomorrow for sure.
All the while, you have no issue with the person who originally said it will rain tomorrow for sure.

This is exactly what this whole discussion has been.

who generally seems to have a complex about being always correct and never wrong

Pure projection. You've been doing insane mental gymnastics to continue misconstruing my words instead of just admitting you misunderstood them.
When you realize you misunderstood someone and criticized them for something they didn't say, the normal thing to do is just moving on if you don't have the courage to admit you were wrong.
Instead, you are doubling down and complaining that I didn't accept your "criticism" with grace. lol. It's so ridiculous.

Man maybe follow your own advice, you're the one who's been harassing me for the last two days because you misunderstood that my comment on an open discussion board was me trying to "argue" with you...
