You still haven't answered that thought-provoking question about what you would have done in Belle's situation, which I laid out for you to think about. Or are you going to insist on going through the whole "Four Legs Good, Two Legs Bad" routine from Animal Farm?

And anyways, are you going to claim that scientists of various fields and mathematicians, especially the ones who actually realize they might get things wrong and try to improve on them, are utterly stupid? Because what Ariel did is in fact what scientists and mathematicians do all the time, and I doubt anyone would claim they are stupid. The entire point about science is that your theories are wrong until proven right, in fact.

And let me remind you that people actually considered Jean-Paul Sartre to be the absolute intellectual during the 20th century, the smartest one out there, and this was despite defending totalitarian regimes, actually supporting people who clearly were evil people, and basically making falsehoods, the ultimate political stooge in other words.
