2. Faux Demand for Education:
This rhetorical demand was noted by a number of participants, but the best analysis of it can be found in <lj user="yeloson">'s journal:
The two usual giveaways about it are:
a)An unwillingness to do research and effort on one's own - that is, if you point the person to books, websites, movies, historical events to research, they refuse to bother doing any effort on their own.
b)Any answers are met with more challenge-type questions, which almost always involve shifting the terms of debate, each time. It's not about more understanding, it's really just disguised versions of "I don't believe you, PROVE IT TO ME, AGAIN.", which repeats until you stop, at which point they can rest easy, because clearly you're wrong, the idea is bunk, because you couldn't summarize it in a half hour conversation or 3 email/comment exchanges. (para 2-3-4 http://yeloson.livejournal.com/718724.html)
Educate me Asks for information then does not follow-up
Answers met with challenge/demand for more proof
3. Aliens SF writer/creators deal with alien cultures all the time
I don't care if you're green, purple, or black…..
4. "If I don't know about it, it clearly does not exist!"
