If you see someone displaying Cook Derangement Syndrome, simply twirl a finger around your ear, smile and move on. You won't get anything sensible from them.
The funniest thing about CDS would be its sheer hypocrisy, being that those who reflexively fling ad homs at Cook and then run from the science are the same people who constantly whine about ad homs and accuse others of running from the science.
It is obvious why the afflicted ones put their CDS on display, as doing so allows them to run from almost any science. No matter what the science is, the CDS-afflicted can declare it was faked Skeptical Science, and is thus invalid. You have to give deniers some credit, due to the creative ways they've come up with to justify their intellectual cowardice.
