Anyone. Show the proof that anyone is wrong. Linus Torvalds’ opinion isn’t proof of anything.

The scientific method gives you a way to disprove the hypothesis and you can’t do it. The fact that some, or dozens, or hundreds of people disagree doesn’t disprove anything.

Truth isn’t a democracy.

Edit:

The proof that Einstein was right wasn’t that his name was Albert and that he was respected by other physicists. Early on, he wasn’t respected by other physicists.

What proved him right was the apparent position of Mercury near the sun, proving that gravity bent light, proving his theory of relativity.

Newton’s laws of motion didn’t account for that. And that proved Newton wrong.
