Postcards from the reality-based community
People who "choose to disagree" with facts are impressive.
Me (at someone else's place): Numerous studies show that fewer than 5% of people on diets succeed in keeping off more than 3 kg, or 5 pounds, in the long term.
Other person: Obviously, I disagree, but out of respect for this journal let's discuss this in PM.
WTF? That's like my saying "The capital of New Hampshire is Concord" and the other person saying "I disagree." What are we going to fucking DISCUSS in PM? The meanings of the numbers 5 and 3?
