       These are ad hominem diversions, not arguments.   
      
       The “dog speech” and “foolish apes” slurs are a juvenile mockery   
       tactic, meant to insult dissenters rather than engage with the   
       scientific critique.   
      
   5. Historical Self-Mythologizing   
      
       "Arindam found all that in 1998, wrote a book on it in 1999..."   
      
       This is appeal to authority, where the authority is himself. This   
       adds nothing to the argument and evades scientific scrutiny.   
      
       Self-published or online claims do not establish validity;   
       reproducibility and peer review do.   
      
   Summary Judgment   
      
   Arindam's response:   
      
       Fails to address the core problem of momentum conservation in   
       isolated systems.   
      
       Invokes standard physics incorrectly to justify non-physical conclusions.   
      
       Distracts with rhetoric and boasts, avoiding genuine engagement with   
       the critique.   
      
       Makes unverified historical claims in place of real evidence.   
      
   Overall, it’s a pseudoscientific argument wrapped in combative,   
   performative language.
