Exactly.
While I am pretty obviously and firmly on the pro-fracing side of the argument, I'm still far from saying that it absolutely can't cause damage, nor do I deny that there are some pretty real issues with it (water usage for example).

However, when you try to explain this to folks like Duffman, and all you get are responses like "I know for a fact", and a refusal to answer any questions about whether or not the person actually did any testing to dertermine the cause of the change in the well, or any acknowledgement that maybe there might be a lack of evidence on his side other than a gut feeling, it's pretty frustrating/ridiculous.
