Do you think that name-calling is an acceptable form of communication?

A poster asked for something that cannot, even in theory, be delivered.

An army of people equally ignorant has come to his defense.

The "wisdom of crowds?"  Suppose you took a vote at your high school as to
the value of pi?  At the university I attended, no one would have fallen for
it.  At my high school, I'm not even confident as to how my home room
section (probably the brightest people in a city of a million) would have
responded.  Ignorance is everywhere.  Is that what you want to defend?
