Fair enough. But sometimes a minority can be right and a majority can be wrong. That is why we understand arguments based on number of believers to be a fallacy. So are you saying that this guy's comparison makes no sense? Or are you just making an argumentum ad populum?

Furthermore, Dr. Alex Hershaft isn't some whacko fringe lunatic. He's had a pretty impressive career. Please just listen to what he has to say and I'd be happy to hear if you have any substantial counter argument to the comparisons he draws.

Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
