Oops, my mistake on the gender- Sabine is not a super familiar name. (Still dislike the tone, though; don't care how famous she is).

I also think the taboo has lifted a bit, as it's now possible for mainstream physicists like David Deutsch and Sean Carroll to build their careers on quantum foundations work. But I still think the physics community has a lot of baggage from the second half of the twentieth century to let go of.

It is not clear to me in what way the tone of your post differs from that of the article.

Here's a snippet:

> Another comment-not-a-question I constantly have to endure is that I supposedly only complain but don’t have any better advice for what physicists should do.

> First, it’s a stupid criticism that tells you more about the person criticizing than the person being criticized.

These feel closer in tone to "personal attack" on her critics to me than a discussion of their ideas.

There is also discussion of ideas in the article, which I have no problem with. But snippets like that feel like unnecessary salt that doesn't add anything. While her critics are (I agree, mostly) wrong, there is no reason to call them stupid.

i think its one of the classic logical fallacies - you can't disagree with me unless you have a better idea. it's a false dichotomy in the sense I can think you are wrong without further explanation. unless there's expt evidence but most of this is opinion-based so it's not open to that sort of progress.
