Look, most of what you generate amounts to "noise." Sometimes it's noise that tells people why they're off base, but often it's not.
If you contributed to the "signal" part by generating some positive signal, that is, some positive claims about what theory there is and perhaps that there should be, that would actually improve the S:N ratio. As it stands, you're not doing that...
