Do I need to apologize for that?
You have absolutely *zero* you need to apologize for her, seriously. You found something interesting, and posted about it. That is what YT is here for...to post things, discuss things, ask questions, learn. You also deserve to be treated respectfully, kindly, and in a supported manner...whether or not people agree w/ your opinion or what you posted. We all deserve a modicum of common decency here at YT.

Personally, I don't tend to label things as "pseudoscience" or "smoke and mirrors" or things like that...I just find that as labeling, rather than as descriptive or explanatory (which is what I prefer, but that's me). I'd rather someone explain and back-up their opinion rather than just dismissing someone or something as "oh that's just smoke and mirrors". Other people reading will likely appreciate a well thought out opinion, rather than just label-calling. Ya know what I mean?

I'm all for evidence-based knowledge, but there is a huge space as well where opinion and editorials are just as important, meaningful, and educational.
