Davin's correct, you know.
Though I might have put it a little differently. :)
You can't encourage discussion by posting a link to an article and then saying, to summarize, that anyone who disagrees with its contents or questions its authority is deluded or dumb, or possibly both.
When someone does that to me, coming out with both guns blazing in defense of a source before a single word has been said by anyone, it's a tip for me to look at that source ever more closely: the person mounting the aggressive, pre-emptive defense usually does so because he knows it's wobbly. Hence the attempt to scare off potential critics by implying they are deluded or dumb.
