It just gives you another data point you fail to synthesize into your understanding of the topic. You're great at googling the work others, but terrible at synthesizing the materials into a perspective and applying that body of knowledge into some tangible work. That's how it's very easy to figure out your education level (without looking at your smarmy negative passive aggressive jabs at people with advanced degrees).
Personal jabs? Yeah, not doing that. I could play your passive aggressive game and make subtle comparisons to an incel living in his parents' basement, but that ain't my game. If I think you're an ####### I'll just call you an #######. I don't waste my time beating around that bush, which you already know, and what you prefer to engage in. I don't need to guess your educational level. It's written all over your posts. When you're read thousands and thousands of papers from students at every level you can quickly see the markers of where they are in their education. I can tell you who reads and writes at what level, and I can tell you what level of education a person ahs on their analytical/cognitive functions. Your lack of interest in things is telling as is your fear of actually doing.
Great. Another google search result. You're great at pointing out what OTHERS think on the subject and their work on the subject. Yes, Deutsch is quite educated and has shown his ability to theorize, synthesize, and apply. But YOU don't have those capabilities. Google-foo is not the same as being educated because google-foo lacks those synthesis and application components. Google-foo is just confirming your bias rather than allowing a synthesis of various theories and data streams to inform your perspective. That is you and your perspective in a nutshell. Limited critical thought, because critical thought requires exposure to information that challenges what you think you know rather feeding yourself a bunch of information you think is true.

Guessing that’s a “no” to doing the math then?
Maybe the math was harder than you thought or something, but you do mention the value of “doing” (application) so I suppose I’m a little confused why you’re avoiding it and just sticking with the personal comments.
If the math showing that the existence of aliens with far greater advanced technology than us is more likely than us having the greatest technology is easy, I would think any educator worth his salt would be dying to illuminate others. You’re saying something we cannot even prove the existence of as we lack any evidence at all is more likely to be better and far more advanced than something we know for a fact exists and we have ample evidence of… that’s amazing! Please share the math! Seriously!
