Your opinions can’t ever outweigh my opinions, or any other HN user’s opinions for that matter, so this adds nothing to the conversation.

You can feel however you want about it but if you were to show up in a thread about GNOME security bugs and start talking about how Linux was designed by this random guy from Finland with no real experience which is why everything is so broken that’s really where people would stop taking you seriously.

You're missing the point. You made an unsubstantiated claim, and then you demanded an argument that it's impossible for your unsubstantiated claim to be true. I agree with the reply that this is a totally unreasonable demand.

The burden of proof is on you to provide evidence for your unsubstantiated claim. The burden is not on everyone else to disprove it.

Not true: opinions carry the weight of their underlying reasons. Not all opinions are equally supported.
