@paulg what if it's an idea that's good but controversial

@edzitron Writing Evolution of Species = good, arguing with creationists = bad. -
@paulg ohh. So to rephrase - you don't mind intellectual controversy just willfully troll-based controversy -
@edzitron Controversy means the arguing. Controversy is controverting people. -
@paulg ha. I literally have never looked up the definition. Presumptuous of me

@paulg exactly! because everyone knows Galileo's Heliocentrism was embraced with open arms. ;) -
@wamatt You are conflating controversial ideas and the controversy about them. -
@paulg figured you actually meant the latter :). that said, the two are often (though certainly not always), inextricably bound together
