Hi Hemidactylus,

The problem with you iKooks is you get _everything wrong_ in every case.
a. Alan Baker swears he's taken Physics & yet never heard of a catenary
b. Chris swears he has a medical-based Phd & yet ridiculed immunology terms
c. Jolly Roger swears Apple fully patches older releases when Apple doesn't
d. nospam swears graphical signal strength apps exist - and yet they do not
e. You refute the D-K effect & yet you are ignorant of their seminal papers
etc.

OBSERVATION:
*Strange low-IQ uneducated ignorant iKooks live squarely on Mount Stupid*

To wit...
I never said I was "unique in knowing about Mount Stupid", Hemidactylus.

In fact, everyone _except the iKooks_ seems to know this basic stuff.
Which is my point, after all...

Again, I know EXACTLY what the graphs look like in the seminal papers,
Hemidactylus - and in fact you disputed that they tested English scores.

It's no longer shocking that you iKooks guess about everything.
It's why you know nothing.

It's why Alan Baker never heard of one of the most fundamental curves based
on the forces of nature (which, let's be clear, work with centrifugal
forces the same way they work with gravitational forces).

BTW, do you see what I just wrote above?
Look at it.

Can you tell I have a vast educational advantage over you, Hemidactylus?
Notice that most of the catenary cites will be about bridges.
But also notice the forces of nature apply to centrifugal forces also.

(Let's not get into the "fictitious forces" argument for the time being.)

Do you think Alan Baker caught that the forces work the same in the
horizontal (sidewise) direction as they do in the vertical direction?

*I am sure he doesn't have a clue.*
He is an iKook, after all.

In fact, this "expert teacher of racing" has no idea what a centrifugal
force is, and certainly any true racing instructor would know of it.


> Add that to https://youtu.be/kcfRe15I47I?si=wOBDGBaO1SiUx5I6

I wonder if you realize the video proves you're an idiot, Hemidactylus?

Remember when you ridiculed that I said the original studies included
English grammar proficiency? Remember you claimed I didn't read the
studies?

Guess what?
Go to time point 174 seconds in that video please...
<https://youtu.be/kcfRe15I47I?t=174>

*What does it say they tested in the original studies*, Hemidactylus?

HINT: English grammar. I read them. I understood them. You did neither.
DOUBLEHINT: That's _always_ the case with you strange ignorant iKooks.

Moving on to time point 183, do you see the "four group" markings?
<https://youtu.be/kcfRe15I47I?t=183>
Do you now realize why I spoke of the "quartile" lines, Hemidactylus?

You claimed I never read the seminal papers, and yet, why is it that I know
EXACTLY what they tested, and exactly how they grouped the people's score?

None of which show up in the "Mount Stupid" graphs, Hemidactylus.
HINT: You iKooks are so incredibly ignorant you miss every single fact!

That video is titled *The Irony of the Dunning-Kruger Effect*, where it
aptly discusses the iKooks when it start with the quote contrasting the
intelligent people (who are full of doubts) with the iKooks when saying:
*The stupid people are full of confidence*

First off, "stupider" isn't even a word; but more important, I'm well aware
of the graphs in the Dunning-Kruger studies - which - you may recall - is
why I said many times EVERYONE fits on the graphs - and which - you may
recall - I discussed the various quartiles - as the variance between test
scores and self-bias assessments is what puts people into those areas.

You, of course, belong squarely far to the left of the first quartile line.
As do all iKooks.

There are three facts I can tell you about Alan Baker which we proved:
a. He claims to support customers' computers and yet he is completely
ignorant about newsreader headers to the point that he's overconfident
in his knowledge as shown by his repeated idiocies proven here:

Who on earth is _that_ stupid? Nobody. Unless you live on Mount Stupid.

b. He claims to be knowledgeable in BMWs, and yet, he stated he's owned
them for years and yet he's never once heard of the term bimmer/beemer.
Who on earth is _that_ stupid? Nobody. Unless you live on Mount Stupid.

c. He claims to race and to even be a "racing instructor" and yet he can't
fathom how the Newtonian forces of nature which apply to a vertical
catenary apply equally to the centrifugal forces racing around a curve.
In fact, he claims that he's never heard of a catenary, even as claiming
at the same time that he has taken Physics and Calculus classes.
Who on earth is _that_ stupid? Nobody. Unless you live on Mount Stupid.

To what extent is there non-heritable somatic DNA change in B-lymphocytes
after exposure to antigen (from pathogenic infection or vaccination)? What
is this well known process of adaptive immunity called and what is its
genetic mechanism? Don’t confuse it with somatic recombination, which
itself makes T and B lymphocytes diverse enough to target a plethora of
antigens.

Why is it wrong to say the mRNA based vaccines are a form of genetic
engineering? What do these vaccines lack which prevents conversion into DNA
and integration into the genome of a cell?

Why is the popular narrative that vaccination doesn’t result in minor
genetic changes in very specific regions of immunoglobulin genes wrong? Why
is it also wrong as the conspiracy theorists allege that the mRNA in these
vaccines itself winds up in our DNA like it was a retrovirus?

Have retroviruses been instrumental in the evolution of placentation in
mammals?

Why was ENCODE wrong in its PR dismissal of junk DNA in our genome?

So phages and/or plasmids? An example of evolutionary gene flow, subset
horizontal gene transfer? If you are not blowing smoke up my ass I will
give you credit for that. But that’s a HUGE threshold for you to surmount
because I am not easily bullshitted on immunology or evolutionary biology.

Yeah, I agree. You sure told him.

Next, lets see how smart he is on quantum physics. I bet you're
a genius, right?

He'll still be attacking iKooks, while you destroy him with

That is simply a lie as I never once said anything like that.

Forces work the same in general...

I know precisely what centrifugal force is an more importantly
centriPETAL force.

I've never claimed not to have heard of a catenary, and I have taken
both physics and calculus (and in standard English grammar, they
shouldn't be capitalized).

What I claimed (because it is true) is that no instructor I've spoken
with as a student or as a colleague has ever mentioned the catenary in
relation to racing.

:-)

Everyone has written an unpublished book. Let us know once it's published.

I'm not an immunologist, but even to me that sounds like a very niche topic
to be writing a book about.

By golly! A *contributing* author?! That's amazing. We are honoured to be
in the presence of such greatness...

Who was the senior author?

So even you aren't confident on its significance.

BTW horizontal gene transfer (or inheritance) is quite well established in
the microbiology literature. Not just for antibiotic resistance.

You *think* you're well educated. Posting pictures of books is not an
education.

Kudos to Alan Baker for actually knowing the difference between centripetal
and centrifugal forces, where that's exactly why I said, and I quote:

"(Let's not get into the "fictitious forces" argument for the time being.)"

While gravity isn't a force either, we're using Newtonian descriptions, as
once we get into the true nature of gravity, it will knock your socks off.

The point was that all the furious googling in the world won't help you if
you don't understand that the uniform forces of nature that work on a
catenary in the vertical direction cause it to curve the way it does - just
as the uniform forces of angular (mass:energy) movement:momentum (yes, some
of which are fictitious) that work on a vehicle moving horizontally around
a curve also form a catenary when they're similarly uniform.

Now isn't that interesting!

BTW, with respect to quantum mechanics, that will blow your socks off,
e.g., gravity doesn't exist as a force - just as a virus isn't living.

People have a hard time with both those concepts, one from biology and the
other from physics - both of which are subject to interpretation - but if
you don't _understand_ the fundamental concepts - you can't dispute them.

Notice that Hemidactylus disputed the D-K conclusions, claiming he read the
papers, and yet he ridiculed the fact I said they studied English Grammar
proficiency in the seminal papers and that they grouped results into
quartiles - both of which came up in Hemidactylus' own YouTube cite (which,
clearly, he didn't watch as he wouldn't have cited it had he known that).

The iKooks don't have the capacity to understand even the simplest of
complexities (yes, I know) so what they do their whole lives, is fake it.

In doing so, they fabricate all sorts of absurdly preposterous claims,
particularly about Apple products such that Apple newsgroups devolve into a
childish cesspool of assertions and denials (and outright fabrications).

Which was my point about the iKooks such that...
a. Jolly Roger disputes how Apple patches releases - and yet - his claims
defy all logic (and they directly contradict Apple's own policies).
b. Hemidactylus disputes how I characterized D-K - and yet - his claims
that they didn't test grammar was preposterous - because they did.
c. nospam disputes there are no graphical wi-fi debuggers (and scores of
other functionalities) and yet he can NEVER come up with the app he
claims exists on the Apple App Store. Hint: It doesn't exist.

*How do you meaningfully converse with people who live on Mount Stupid?*
You can't.

Which is my point.

In summary, for decades, this "Apple vs Whatever" conversation has been
taking place - and yet - the ridiculous nature of the discussion is simply
because iKooks are completely unable to fathom the complexities involved.
--
BTW, did you ever notice how I make fun of the iKooks' lack of English
grammar? There's a reason which they can't comprehend - which is that if
you can't figure out the simplest of rules (such as who versus whom) - how
can you understand complex ones? HINT: You can't.

Hi Chris,
I have a good memory, even after the recent spate of operations, where you
ridiculed the use of "vehicle" in immunology - and yes - you RIDICULED it.

If you disagree, you'll simply force me to find the cites, so let's just
accept that you do not have any training in immunology & leave it at that.

First off, I was a lowly grad student, and secondly, all you have to do to
be a "contributing author" to such peer-reviewed papers is do some of the
research - so you again ridiculing it isn't warranted as my point was only
that I have degrees in stuff that you iKooks don't and yet you iKooks
ridicule things such as a catenary & D-K quartiles & immunology terms.

My point is simply that you're all squarely to the west of Mount Stupid.
You're so stupid - you don't even realize how stupid you are.

That's the nicest way I can put it, at least the nicest way I can think of.

>> I won't quote it as my name is on it - and you'll refute

>
> So even you aren't confident on its significance.

One scientific paper? The significance? Not much. However it was seminal.

We studied the organisms and we studied their reactions and we surmised how
what we observed could possibly have happened given the organisms were
never exposed to what they were found to be immune to and we looked at
patterns and we made assessments based on the facts as we knew them - which
- turns out - a decade later - we were vindicated in all our premises.

Science progresses. And that was before I changed fields completely.

That was in the throes of the Vietnam War era by the way, and the science
of immunology has progressed greatly since then - but even then it was
immensely complex.

If you iKooks can't figure out something as simple as whether or not you
can name an app that does Wi-Fi graphical signal strength debugging, how on
earth are you iKooks going to be able to figure out something like that?

Unfortunately, most of the population has no clue about immunology (they
think every vaccine is the same as the flu vaccine) - so they have no grasp
of the immense differences this covid situation was for us (by the way, we
studied the family of viruses which cause Covid (the family being known
since at least the sixties), where even then a mere handful of
Coronaviridae were responsible for something like 1/3 of all colds while
the other two thirds required hundreds upon hundreds of other viruses).

That's how formidable the Coronaviridae are in terms of attaching to
mucosal cells in the lungs (and elsewhere - but particularly the lungs).

You're surprisingly prescient, Chris, where I'm both a scientist and an
engineer so I will agree with anyone if they make a logically sensible
assessment of facts. Kudos to you for _understanding_ the basics.

I'm impressed. I truly did not think you had it in you, Chris.
I'm duly shocked. In a good way.

Note: I'm also shocked when nospam fabricates there are many apps, such as
mock location apps or on-device system-wide firewalls, for iOS when he
can't ever name them - but that shock is, by way of contrast, in a bad way.

There you go, Chris. For a second you had me respecting you.

But then, you go on the classic iKook tangent thinking that a book is an
education, when you missed the entire point (much like Alan Browne misses
the point that he's logging into the very walled garden he claims doesn't
exist).

Just as Alan Browne constantly ridicules the existence of the walled
garden, even as _everything_ he loves about iOS doesn't work without it...

When you ridicule textbooks, it hints of you having never attended college.

Once in a while, an iKook says something that an actual adult would say;

No, they do not. Because in a catenary, all the external forces act
vertically, but there are forces along the chain or rope as well.

When in a curve in a car (or motorcycle) there is no such force along
the line.

I can show you why in the first phase of a corner (from the time you
have slowed the car in a straight line to the speed required to
negotiate the corner successfully), when braking and steering into the
corner until you reach the point where the forces are purely lateral,
the curve described MUST be a parabola.

And what did you do that warrants you being able to still call yourself an
immunologist decades later?

I did my bachelors and PhD in Chemistry I don't call myself a chemist these
days. I lead research projects in other fields.

That's what you claim yet won't directly evidence. The only thing others

Name calling isn't at all ridiculouS, of course.

The pattern, which you can't see of course, is you using terms incorrectly
and then get all arsey when those who actually know stuff try to correct
you.

What's most funny regarding all this DK nonsense is you don't recognise how
relevant it is to you. The more you claim you're an expert the more you
come across as a know-it-all who actually knows little.

It can't be seminal if it wasn't very significant. Unless it's about
semen...

You could easily tell us who the senior author was. They likely published
dozens if not hundreds of papers which wouldn't divulge anything we don't
already know.

If any of this true, I suspect you didn't travel far so would have likely
been at UCSF or UCSD.

I'm not ridiculing books. I'm ridiculing you for using photos of books as
evidence of your college degrees. The fact you feel the need to even do
this speaks volumes about your fragile ego.

You're right, I never attended college. I went straight to university from
school.

Hi Chris,

This stuff is how I know you iKooks all have a substandard below-normal IQ.
a. Your belief systems are all completely imaginary
b. Hence, facts threaten everything you believe in
c. So you simply resort to kindergarten blind denials that facts can exist

All you iKooks ever do (besides defending Apple to the death, no matter
what), is deny all facts about anything that you simply do not like.

By denying facts, in your mind, they go away (much like the Russians do,
but more to the point, it's why Alan Browne claims he's never seen the
walled garden that, literally, he logs into every day of his living life).

Usenet is water under the bridge to me, where I respond only to what people
say; I don't care who says it - if it makes sense - I will agree with it.

I never disagree with a sentient logical statement, Chris, no matter whom
it comes from. It could come from the Devil himself, and if it makes sense,
I'd agree with it.

You said at one point that Mount Stupid isn't on the Dunning-Kruger graphs,
and I only belatedly understood why you said that - and once I did - I
agreed with you - but that just means I was using off-the-cuff terminology
as I knew full well the quartile graphs that were in the seminal papers.

So I give you full credit for pointing that out (but no credit for getting
the reason wrong - as it's clear by now I read and understood the papers).

I have to give you credit Chris, much as I give Alan Baker credit when his
quoted text shows something correctly, that you once caught a decimal-place
error in my off-the-cuff statements (about Covid deaths in children).

I have a good memory Chris - even after a spate of life-saving operations.
Anyone who can earn higher degrees in the sciences and engineering MUST
have a good memory - or they wouldn't be able to pass any of the exams.

You do NOT have a good memory Chris as you don't remember ridiculing the
use of "vehicle" (making jokes about cars) in immunology when it's a common
term of anyone who took courses in immunology (which I have taken).

Hell... I even have my immunology textbooks, which you uneducated iKooks
ridicule because you hate that none of you iKooks even has an undergrad
degree (neither Alan Baker nor Jolly Roger could have even a high school
diploma, Chris). Nobody with their IQs would.

Those are accurate observations of fact.

Again, this is how I know all you uneducated iKooks have a substandard IQ.
I never once said I was an immunologist. Not then. Not now.
Yet your "Mount Stupid" iKook brain simply makes that up out of nothing.

You did not. You are a liar. You're too stupid to have a PhD in anything,
let along a bachelors degree Chris. Sorry. But you can't.

What's the reason that water is such a good solvent, Chris?
Do you know?

HINT: You're furiously googling (much as Alan Baker would), but that's an
easy one to find in Google searches - so it's an easy one for you too.

Let's try what this means '1s22s22p6' (offhand I'm pretty sure that's
correct) as some things in chemistry (such as .0821) stick in your mind
because you use them so often.

What is the significance of those two sets of things above to chemistry?
Hint: They're both huge so if you have to google, you don't know chemistry.

You think I'm making it up because that's what _you_ do, Chris.
All you ignorant low-IQ iKooks make _everything_ up, Chris.
It's why you live west of Mount Stupid on the Dunning-Kruger extrapolation.

Telling you that you are west of Mount Stupid is an accurate assessment.
Telling you that denying all facts you don't like is childish is an
accurate assessment. Telling you that you're a liar is an accurate
assessment.

You don't hear me saying that about Ant, do you Chris?
I don't say it about badgolferman, do I Chris?

And yet, I say it about Steve (being a liar) and yet I don't call him an
iKook. Doesn't it ever occur to you the _reason_ I call you an iKook...

...Is because you are...

Remember, iKooks are a special kind of person west of Mount Stupid.

I never once said I was an expert in anything (as far as I recall), Chris,
where you just _think_ I'm an expert because I know so much more than you
do.

Likewise, Alan Baker _claims_ to be an expert but he doesn't know the first
thing about things he claims to be an expert in - where I only know them
because I have a grasp of detail (e.g., what a BMW is called in racing
circuits) that Alan Baker lacks. But let's be clear here, Chris - showing
that I know more than Alan Baker does makes me no expert at all Chris.

All it means is I got past kindergarten, Chris.
Seriously.

You mistake me poking fun at the ignorant iKooks for me claiming I'm an
expert. My goal isn't to claim that and in many (many!) cases I expressly
disavow being an expert because I'm too well educated to make that claim.

Only people to the left of Mount Stupid claim to be experts (like Alan
Baker for example) when they're actually incredibly ignorant people.

HINT: Who on earth is _that_ stupid? Unless they live on Mount Stupid.

That's true actually. What I meant in the casual conversation was that it
was prescient, more so than seminal. Thanks for clarifying as I agree with
you.

Again (and again) and again, I will agree with anyone (hell, even nospam)
if that person makes a statement that makes sense logically.

When Alan Baker claims that he's an expert and yet he knows nothing about
the subject, that doesn't make sense.

When Steve claims that T-Mobile has no signal where it does, that doesn't
make sense (especially as Steve lied for years about the FCC data).

When Jolly Roger claims Apple fully patches older releases when even Apple
expressly says they do NOT do that - what JR thinks doesn't make sense.

When nospam constantly fabricates imaginary apps in the app store that
simply don't exist - that doesn't make sense.

When Snit claims this video shows an iOS app that can graphically show
Wi-Fi signal strength over time for all nearby access points, that doesn't
make sense (although all the ignorant iKooks believed it, Chris).

The thing Chris, is none of you iKooks has any education so if I posted my
books, for example, you'd ridicule it endlessly like a kindergarten class
where someone in the class knew how to tell time when the others didn't.

When you show you've read (and understood) the seminal Dunning-Kruger
papers, come back and ask me to point you to the principal author of mine.

It was in response to just the kind of "show me proof" that you ignorant
iKooks requested - just as you did above with the principle author, Chris.

You're a liar Chris. Not a single iKook owns the IQ to pass a college exam,
let alone what it takes to earn a PhD. You just do not own that intellect.

I'll change my mind the instant you show me that you do own that intellect.

(And, no, it doesn't count when I've backed it up a thousand times and the
iKooks say they missed the first thousand times so I need to do it again

I don't say something is a fact that isn't a fact, Hank.
Because my belief systems are _based_ on the facts.

*That's a key difference between an adult and a child-like iKook.*

For example, nospam repeatedly claims apps in the app store that don't
exist, and Chris claims, in this case, that he didn't say what he did.

JollY Roger repeatedly claims Apple fully patches all releases, when

Alan Browne repeatedly claims there is no walled garden when every day he
logs into the very same walled garden he claim doesn't exist.

Who is that stupid?

Now we have Chris claiming to have a PhD when clearly he does not, where he

For any _adult_ on these child-like Apple operating system newsgroups,

The reason Apple ngs are the cesspool they are, is because of iKooks.
That's not a fact - but it's an assessment of many (many) facts.

I don't say something is a fact unless it is a fact, unlike the child-like
iKooks who repeatedly claim facts that they can never back up with cites.
a. nospam constantly fabricates imaginary iOS apps that don't exist
b. Jolly Roger constantly claims imaginary iOS support that doesn't exist
c. Alan Browne claims the walled garden he logs into doesn't exist
etc.

> Without the abuse and name calling.

I'm on plenty of adult operating system newsgroups, Chris.
And what happens there is NOT what happens on the child-like Apple ngs.

The Apple newsgroups are infested with people who own religious beliefs.
That's why you iKooks are so deathly afraid of simple things, like facts.

The whole reason Apple newsgroups are what they are, Chris - is because you
low-IQ ignorant uneducated religious zealots exist - such that you defend
everything Apple ever did, said, or will do - to the death.

It's what makes you an iKook, Chris.

> That would be much appreciated.

For years, Apple newsgroups have been different from adult OS newsgroups.
The reason is that you iKooks are what makes Apple ngs so childish, Chris.

I posted them already Chris. It was trivial to find since you said it.
What's interesting is you didn't bother looking up your own words.

*Like all iKooks* - your belief systems are always based on zero facts.

Every statement from you child-like iKooks proves what I say about you.
a. You did what I said you did.
b. You brazenly denied what you did do.
c. And then you haughtily ask me to prove you did what you said you did.

Without ever bothering to check the facts, Chris.
Never even once did you check what you had said, Chris.
Before outrighting denying that you said exactly what I said you said.

Who does that?
Nobody right?

Except the iKooks do it all the time, Chris.
The whole reason Apple groups are what they are, is because of you iKooks.

That is what I'm trying to show the world, Chris.

Jesus Christ, Chris.

I gave you the cites already Chris.
You're too stupid to CLICK on the link I gave you!

Classic Alan Baker behavior, Chris.
Facts can't exist (to you) if you refuse to acknowledge that they exist.

> That makes you the "iKook" here, doesn't it?

Do you have to always PROVE MY POINT that you iKooks live on MT. Stupid?

a. You're too stupid to search for your own words, and,
b. When I do the work for you, you're too stupid to click the links.

Who is _that_ stupid, Chris?
Nobody.

Just you iKooks (all of whom live on Mount Stupid).

Yes I did.

Why are you so stupid that you can't even do one of two simple things?
a. Find your own words that _you_ wrote, or, since I did that for you,
b. Click on the link that I already provided to you, Chris.

This is a _perfect_ proof that all you iKoooks live on Mount Stupid.

It's not ego, Chris. It's a curiousity akin to that which Dunning-Kruger
had about people's self assessments, Chris, where you live on Mount Stupid.

They studied people's self bias on skills.
I study why Apple posters do the very strange things that they do.
a. They can't process facts
b. Just like you just proved.

Heck...
First you deny words you said, that you said.
Then you deny links exist, that exist.

Everything you say, Chris... proves you iKooks live on Mount Stupid.

> Not sure the world cares about your opinions.

Just as Jolly Roger claimed he thinks he's an iKook simply because he
disagreed with the facts, he doesn't understand a word that I said.

Neither do you, Chris.

a. I gave you the link.
b. You didn't even click on the link that I gave you.

And then... you claim it doesn't say what clearly it says?

Who does that?
Nobody, right?

Except you iKooks.
Which proves my point.

All you iKooks are too stupid to even click on a link of words that you
said that you are too stupid to look up for yourself (so I did it for you).

Who is _that_ stupid, Chris?
Just you iKooks.

You all live on Mount Stupid.

Mount Stupid is not a thing. You are delusional. You spend way too much
time attacking people on usenet. This is not healthy.

[Alan]

It's really quite hilarious the way he decides based on one thing he
thinks he knows that his critics can't possibly be competent in their
fields.

Actually I don't hate the iKooks at all. In fact, I study you intently.
That's why I know more about you, Hemidactylus, than you know yourself.

This is a stick diagram of the iKooks who post to Apple OS newsgroups.

And yet, Mount Stupid _is_ a thing.

The fact you can't fathom that is partly why you're an iKook - but it takes
a confluence of traits to be an iKook - particularly religious zealotry.

> You spend way too much time attacking people on usenet.

I have two goals on usenet, one of which is achieved by me writing the many
tutorials I've written (where I've noticed you've never written even one).

The second goal comes from studying why only on the Apple newsgroups do the
strange people exist who defend the mothership to the death, like zealots.

You iKooks even gloat about Apple gouging your eyes out with profits.
Who does that?
Nobody normal, right?

Only iKooks.

You strange people don't realize it's not normal to defend the mothership
to the death - slinging lies - outright denials - and false answers.

On the _adult_ operating systems newsgroups, they act more like adults.
On the child-like Apple newsgroups, most of you do not act like adults.

What is common to all the iKooks though is that they live on Mount Stupid.

Just FYI, this:

"If you think you are average at something, that means you are right in
the middle: Half of the people out there are better than you, and half
are worse."

Is wrong. That's not the AVERAGE they're talking about: it's the MEDIAN.

Drawings don't prove anything.

[Wally J]

The adults will notice that the iKooks live on Mount Stupid in many ways,
as witnessed, moments ago, from their Mount Stupid posts to both the
Windows newsgroup (always via Alan Baker nyms) & to Android (Dave Royal).

To wit... (for the permanent Usenet record to find by future researchers).

This is my _last_ post to "Dave Royal" as he will be plonked (along with
his other nym of Alan Baker and all the other Alan Baker nyms out there).

OT. Please ignore if you care about the subject matter of this thread.
The only _relevant_ information in the post below are these screenshots.

Now back to the "Dave Royal" (aka Alan Baker) response...
<https://dingdong887180022.files.wordpress.com/2021/10/dunning-kruger.jpg>

Some people try to add value in every post.
Others subtract it in every post.

In decades on Usenet, I've only plonked a handful of people who _can't_ add
value such as Snit, Dustin Cook, Sn!pe, and every nym of Alan Baker (of
which Dave Royal is but one - where there are so many I can't count them).

The nyms are OK, as with my newsreader setup, I don't even see who posts
unless I look - which is kind of like Trump words - where I don't look up
what he said unless someone tells me and I say "did he really say that?).

Point being, nothing from Dave Royal adds value (as he's Alan Baker).
In fact, Dave Royal _subtracts_ vale (aka Alan Baker) in every post.

Even if he's not Alan Baker - he has the same IQ of about 40 (which is why
he loudly proclaims to the world that he is an utter genius when he finally
figures out what was never hidden from anyone - except from dumb robots).

It irks me that people this incredibly stupid, actually exist - which is
exactly why the Mount Stupid graphs exist - which fits the iKooks well.
<https://pastorpaul.files.wordpress.com/2022/12/dunning-kruger-effect.jpg>

Jesus Christ. Every time these low-IQ iKooks have nothing to say, they say
it. Dave Royal _is_ Alan Baker who _is_ Jack_Of_All_Trades_Master_of_None
<inv...@andybastard.com> who _is_ a hundred other nyms, all of which are
childish kindergarten attempts at "outing" what they think they're geniuses
at, but which only proves they live squarely atop the D-K Mount Stupid.
*These strange low-IQ uneducated ignorant iKooks live squarely atop Mount Stupid*
<https://groups.google.com/g/misc.phone.mobile.iphone/c/9eiX08J_g_w>

If it takes an _adult_ more than five seconds to figure out my posts, then
they're idiots because the only purpose of the random headers is privacy
from robots - which these ignorant uneducated iKooks can't comprehend.

For God's sake, when I post a thousand screenshots to the Windows newsgroup
that have the _exact same screen_, how long can it take an idiot like you?
<https://i.postimg.cc/fT2J40RD/windows-cascade-menu.jpg> Windows browsers

How many of these does a normal person take to figure it out?
One right? Two maybe?

But iKooks? It takes them a thousand. Two thousand. Three thousand.
And then they declare that they're a "genius" for figuring it out.
When it was never hidden.

Who is that stupid?

Hell, I post a thousand screenshots to the Android newsgroup like this,
and it takes more than a thousand for you to claim you're a genius?

I even post a thousand screenshots to the child-like Apple newsgroups,
where only the child-like Apple religious iKooks claim that they're a
genius for "finally figuring out" what was never hidden in the 1st place.

It doesn't occur to these fantastically ignorant iKooks that the
screenshots are the same, year after year, for thousands of them.

Who is _that_ stupid?
Nobody right?

Except the iKooks are.
They're so stupid, they don't even know how stupid they really are.

That's something only an idiot would say, which is why Alan Baker said it.
It means you don't know the first thing about Android text editors, Alan.

That's because you live on Mount Stupid.

You just...

...make stuff up...

...don't you?

For the record, I have never posted as "Dave Royal" or any variation
thereof.

I had a thorough look through all your posts in this thread and I
eventually found an obfuscated link to an ng with no relevance to this
thread in your fucking signature. Why would any sane person do that? You
were intentionally trying to hide it.

Having found the hidden link and within it I needed to click through other
links to find your cites. Eventually I found the thread.

And yes, I admit, I probably did mock you for your incorrect usage of
technical/biological terminology. In my defence you had written an
extremely long and in many ways ill-informed post.
