Right on target (and it's not just slashdot).
Debate is healthy, and it leads to better research, fantastic ideas, and every once in a while, something revolutionary.
But if all the negative armchair scientists out there actually buckled down and did some actual research of their instead of spending their time trying to knock down somebody who accomplished something we would be in a much better place.
An open mind isn't something terribly difficult to cultivate.
