Dude you're still doing the "fucking magnets how do they work" dance.

This isn't an abstract problem. This isn't a philosophical problem. This is an empirical study presenting empirical evidence that was empirically discredited by empirically evaluating the evidence and exposing fraud. Your entire argument here is an appeal to the mysteries of the universe. It's whataboutism at its finest. The worst part is the only one fooled is you. "I think these are complex issues though" has become your default way of saying "you're winning this debate on its merits but I'm going to appeal to pathos."

Yes. The universe is complicated. Yes. We don't know everything. But fuckin' hell man the entire point of science is to push back the fucking dark and your attitude is "no matter how bright it is there are still shadows therefore both sides are right let's stop fighting."

No.

I'm not going to agree to disagree because you're arguing that video games are bad because you feel like they're bad.

Stop it.
