No Lauren, my reaction was not a cry for help... I was simply tired of the insults. You and others can see the world through whatever prism you choose to. I am not interested in changing anyone. I offered some technical expertise and scientific approach to looking at technical matters. This was completely rejected and it was like beating one's head against the wall.
I posted references to the psychology and meta analysis and apparently this was of no interest. Disagreement is fine. Rudeness is not. It doesn't surprise me that there was so much resistance here to the scientific approach... this site in inhabited by people who see the world's events through a political window which prevents them being objective at times. Further it is impossible to discuss technical matters with people who have not even a smattering of understanding of physics or engineering.
I've got no shortage of things to do with my time. I am fine. In the end this amounts to a hill of beans.
