Thomas does. So it is not unreasonable for him to expect that of others.

This is a discusson group, 
there is no reason why someone would think that.
[well yes, anyone can be fooled by ignorance]

But why not measure opinions on their individual merits,
instead of suggesting that a single opinion must be valueless
BECAUSE it comes frome somone you or your 'majority' dislikes.
I will call that ad-hominem falacy 2.0.

Moreover, reality is not measured by majority opinion.

it is time to pause and reflect."
