there really was no reason to for the reddit bro energy either tbh, you jumped straight to being an asshole based on what exactly? Their post also indicates nothing more than at worst that theyd fallen for a common misconception that is often repeated without attribution to voltaire, its a pretty big leap of logic to ascribe anything malicious in it that would warrant being a jerk about it. Also lots of "jokes" on the internet esp are literally just "this is a thing that exists, remember?" Just off top i remember it being quoted as referential joke on QI once if memory serves
