Why would you bother to even write such comment?

You didn't even read the first line of the article did you?

It is about refugees from the Syrian war and the effects of war trauma on civilians.

The rest of your claims are just silly - there are plenty of smart people who are born in very poor countries and end up poor as a result.

This is an example of condescension and holding contradictory beliefs.

This person implies that this study is a replication of “known” things and that replications like this are not useful. But the replication strengthens the claims of 1, 2, and 4. This is a contradiction.

The sense of condescension comes from “oh great”, “absolutely nothing new”, “foolish”, and claim 5.

Claims 2 and 5 suggest some kind bias but I’m not sure how to classify it. Whatever it is, they give me a gross feeling.

> Oh great, another study.

Have to admit, that did make me laugh.
