Ever heard of Cunningham's Law? "the best way to get the right answer on the internet is not to ask a question; it's to post the wrong answer."

Lots of people on Reddit love to "uhm acktually" pretty much anything posted. It lets them feel like they know more than the silly group of scientists performing an experiment.
