You know it's one thing when an Englishman argues the pronunciation of To-mahhh-to over our more commonly used To-may-to to make a point about differences of view. I mean there's room for preference tweaking in any reasonable conversation. But if the bloke spelled out the word Wheelbarrow and tried to pass it off as a garden vegetable...well now we're gonna have a problem. Further if he started making small spelling adjustments to the word trying to get me to see a Tomato ... It still isn't going to work and the final result will be me doubting just about anything that comes out of this guy's mouth....aside from telling him to get the eff out of my face!
Now let's say he comes back with a etymology professor from Columbia U ..who then joins the argument trying to explain to me how my lack of a degree in this field prevents me from understanding the point....that variations of the word wheelbarrow actually mean tomato...then he throws the word consensus at me.
Yeah....I'll probably punch him out for harassing me right? Will I be intimidated by my lack of a degree in this field when all I really need is common sense?
NO!
I give you Anthropogenic Global warming and it's adherent base.
