I don't think Sabine talks down to people like they're dumb. If anything, Dave, it's me and you who have that problem.
Still, there's no reason for Sabine (or anyone) to get huffy just because people don't agree with them on the internet. Some of the greatest scientific breakthroughs in history came about in the face of almost overwhelming opposition from the "establishment," so I'm a big believer in airing ideas and experiences no matter how contrary they run to conventional wisdom. However, if you air your opinions and experiences on a public forum, you should expect public criticism and not get offended when people disagree.
