Seems like a pretty wide sweeping generalization to say his arguments are not arguments at all.

What is your specific bone to pick with Taleb?

I was commenting on the comment, and rephrasing a bit for accuracy. That is, if you're being selective about the facts you present and you're not concerned about how solid your position is as a result, then you're not making an argument. Your intellectual laziness should not be rewarded.

Ultimately, you're just spewing bullshit, and in many cases just trying to use to reputation as a (cheap) substitute for truth and fact. Again, such intellectual laziness should not be rewarded.

I'm not sure why we're grown so tolerant and accepting of what so often amounts to raw bullshit.
