There are a handful of posters that will cite actual stories/studies/etc to support their opinion/positions and there are a handful that simply post what they think or know and never have anything behind it except they think and know it.
To be fair, there are a couple that have continued to debate in the face of such things. I may disagree with them, but they make good arguments. I can understand reading these things and then saying "I still see value in the EC because of X, Y, and Z." It's the people that just ignore the evidence that are not helpful to the conversation.
