Peter McCormack could start by providing evidence for why the paper was wrong, instead was trying to bait Taleb into a Twitter thread that would have done no good to anyone. Good thing for Taleb that he didn't engage.

It’s hard to say “shut the fuck up” and have it be effective.

I think such a statement seems to disengage and also discourage future similar potential engagements.
