For the reasons I’ve outlined above, the platform upon which one speaks is significant. Twatter is all too often a moralising echo chamber and this particular user has spoiled what was a very promising summary of the relevant facts by using them as an excuse for a fulminating rant.
There are people of my acquaintance I’d like to share the data with but I’m not going to do it by linking to him because I don’t think you win anyone round by hating on them.
Of course he’s not really trying to win anyone round, he’s trying to prove he truly belongs in the club formed of people who he follows/follow him, and express similar, correct views. He’s preaching to the choir and getting off on re-tweets.
