>I think he's a cook, watching people putting frozen "meals" in the microwave and telling himself: "hey! That's not cooking!".

It's the equivalent of saying anyone excited about being able to microwave Frozen meals is a hack who couldn't make it in the kitchen. I'm sorry, but if you don't see how ridiculous that assertion is then I don't know what to tell you.

>And I totally agree with him. Throwing some kind of fallacy in the air for the show doesn't make your argument, or lack of, more convincing.

A series of condescending statements meant to demean with no objective backing whatsoever is not an argument. What do you want me to say ? There's nothing worth addressing, other than pointing out how empty it is.

You think there aren't big shots, more accomplished than anyone in this conversation who are similarly enthusiastic?

You and OP have zero actual clue. At any advancement, regardless of how big or consequential, there are always people like that. It's very nice to feel smart and superior and degrade others, but people ought to be better than that.

So I'm sorry but I don't really care how superior a cook you think you are.
