You don't need citations for this kind of garbage, just the ability to see bullshit and call it. This is not only bullshit, it's bull diarrhea.
Only kids reading scifi and adults collecting comics, who between them are unconditionally married to the magic of the fictional fantasies, should be afforded the leeway to absorb themselves into this stuff without ridicule. If any of you are like this, then fair enough.
Any of you who still believe this stuff and who protest that you aren't this type of person, then you deserve to be put into stocks in a shopping mall and pelted with rotten fruit whilst nude and laughed at continually for the entire day.
The other's, like Pythagoras and Flat-orange, etc can carry on promoting the bullshit in the full knowledge that it is, indeed that.
