This is invalid thinking.

Bad actors can make such tool themselves (if they can't, they are not really that good) and have incentive to do that, so non existence will only slow them down. I don't care about analyzing other people for any purpose so I don't. Having this tool readily available lets me analyze myself and people I care about to protect them from bad actors and educate them in the process.




This is invalid thinking.

I'm not familiar with the phrase "invalid thinking." Can you elaborate on how a person's thoughts can be invalid?


It’s a hamfisted attempt to assert the correctness of one’s argument by fiat. It’s the grown-up “are not / am too!”


Please keep in mind that some HNers are modeling their behavior after buggy machines and bad code and that this influences their thinking and language.


logical coherence and fallacies far pre-date computers and code


You are being overly literal I guess, there is nothing to explain.

Invalid line of thought sounds good ?

Try DDG next time.


The sentence was unnecessary to both your point and any argument in general. Why did you include it? Why are you defending it's inclusion? Why are you now saying "google it"?
