Abstruse calculations does not make your idea true.
If you see certainty in your data, you are analyzing it wrong.
Those patterns you see in your data… they may be the result of randomness. How can you tell the difference?

Yeah, it’s not “unfair” that I don’t take your wacky idea seriously, it’s called “practicing good judgement;” especially when you are dragging out ideas that have been throughly debunked years, decades, or centuries ago.
