I'm sure that flagellum is secretly rubbing his little hands (vestigial limbs?) together in glee at having spun 20 or so of you into a huge existential hissy-fit. Stirring it up is the sole point. Raising a ruckus and then squealing with delight that your theory has as much cultural mass as the prevailing one is what it's all about.

Misdirection is the strategy. Watch what the other hand is doing.
