    Okay so you’re just here to be regressive, got it.

    You cannot address any of the problems around this situation, you cannot debate a scientific answer, you do not even know what a scientific answer for this might look like, you neglect how this incorporates into a greater discussion about what we define as “ableism” (I didn’t ask ONLY about how it is different than scoliosis, but also about any other difference in biology)… Like not only are you unable to debate the science of it, which you admit, but you are also so sure I’m wrong, even though you don’t know anything about this topic.

    So I take it you’re here in bad faith.

      That is simply because you moved the topic of the conversation to something else. You changed topic twice, and now you are burdening me with providing a solution, when I was barely acknowledging the existence of a problem. Not sure why you are so unnecessarily confrontational, but I am arguing in good faith, laying down exactly what I mean and what I don’t. I am not going to search stuff on the fly I am not competent about to entertain a conversation you are forcing.

      Let’s also remember the other shameful thread in which you were claiming something objectively false (Phelps swims slower than Ledecky on distance), and after 3 comments of bad faith arguments you simply disappeared without ever acknowlding the mistake in your argument. Who is arguing in bad faith? You are the one that after being shown that your argument was bases on comparibg times when Phelps was 15 yo answered “being a teenager is an advantage in some sports”.

      So please, I don’t think you are in any position to moralize anybody. Including in this case, where I clearly said that even though I am not an expert, a quick search showed some objections to your proposal. Instead of addressing any of that, you just wrote this meta-comment about how I didn’t “debate the science”. So yeah, you want to call me regressive to support status quo vs the impromptu proposal of a random internet user who is not an expert in this either, with the proposal having no general support (I found one article having the same idea in addition to that reddit post)? Sure, I am regressive then.
