I certainly don't think that, but again that has more to do with apathy. I think it has more to do with the phenomenon of when people are told they're wrong regardless of whether they are they get very defensive and agitated.
You don't actually need this dude to say he's wrong, and the insistence on turning your wheels to get them to say so is dumb and fruitless.
Most importantly though, I give exactly zero shits if DSM knows what they're talking about or not. I cannot describe to you how easy it is to look at someone who you think is wrong, know for certain you are correct about something, and not engage that person. You don't need their validation and you don't need to assert how correct you are, especially over something as fucking stupid as this.
You might say, "Kich, that's exactly what DSM is doing" -- and that's true, but it very clearly comes from a different place.
I think you're all still responding because you're more bothered that DSM said you're wrong than he would be bothered by being wrong. I think, demonstrably, the dude just likes talking on forums and debating things. And so this is an unbalanced conversation that you all could've avoided had you seen DSM disagree with you and you just go: "Yeah no that's fuckin crazy" and then not respond to the thread anymore.

Impartiality is always partial.
If you truly think this is waste of oxygen, why are you even here yourself? If we're all childish and crazy somehow, just let us be. I refuse to listen to this hypocritical speech about how I need to be the bigger man here.
Yeah, I do want him to admit he's wrong. You may think that's pointless, but I want sanity to flourish here. That's not going to happen if we go "shucks, what are you gonna do?!" and let him go off thinking he's in the right.
