Thank you for the source. If correct, that is indeed terrifying and we should be concerned.

No, it is not crappy of me. I gave up any hope for “a productive conversation” after the zero citations provided by anyone 5 replies deep. But you did provide one now. Thanks.

You’re intentionally being ruder because things aren’t going your way (your first comment was frankly also rude, plus didn’t ask for a source, so why would I give you one). You can decide that’s not crappy because you’re frustrated, but the rest of us can’t know your mental state. Lashing out because you don’t think you’ll get what you want isn’t behavior that most people find enjoyable.

It’s the same source you already received in another comment. Maybe you’ll read it this time.

I only became frustrated when you gave me a phantasmagorical story about a hypothetical unprecedented scenario.

You asked why people were worried; I explained my worry. You called me delusional, and I defended myself. When you asked for a source so that I could see it, I first clarified what you were looking for, then linked it.

I honestly don’t know what you expected or why you found that frustrating. Regardless, your frustration is your problem.
