Can confirm that this person (I still don't know, or care, their gender) knows A Great Deal of Stuff. I don't always agree with their conclusions on medical issues, but not going to argue with them given their indeed insane research skills + anecdotal evidence. I may be on Bluesky too much.

You should want to argue with people who have a lot of knowledge and great research skills, because there's more to learn. You should always go into an argument with a worthy opponent hoping to learn something

Oh yeah for sure; a very good principal. But this Bluesky poster in particular gets a lot of argument from folks who have not done any research or are outside of their fields.

So I don't want to be "that guy." I learn enough listening to their (often long) replies.
