quite nice mix of math and conspirology, that's very fine, let's continue

I'm not satisfied with calling the psychological aspect "conspirology".

My current thinking is that many people here can't really understand either mathematical or software engineering aspects of Bitcoin. For them it becomes a sort of gnostic theological experience, even if they claim to be atheistic.

In this thread they will search for a (bad) influence of demiurge who corrupts their ideal.

In the nearby threads by no-ice-please we observe a dissatisfaction with insufficiently immaculate conception of SHA256 algorithms.

I hate to call them all "trolls". I can settle for "crackpots", because this seems to be the prevailing practice in the scientific fields.

But theologians would simply call them "heretics", purveyors of the "bad theology".

In very broad term, what we are searching in those threads is a way to communicate with people who'll never have time, knowledge, skills and motivation to completely understand the inner details of Bitcoin. Is there way to maintain the dialogue between the two groups?
