    One of the problems with arguing with people online is I tend to assume people are arguing in good faith.

    One of the things that stop me from arguing with people online is when they accuse me of arguing in bad faith because I have facts they don’t like. From such no-name sites as Harvard.

    EDIT: For future reference (and 2 points):

    1. Front page is a popularity contest, and does not bear any weight to the truth of a matter, or even expert consensus of that matter.
    2. Front page can differ between people in search engines, and these results came from the front page on mine.

    So in summary, the only reply that would not have been “bad faith” in your eyes would be to concede the argument. So you got it. Congrats, you were right about every opinion you’ve ever had in your life.
