Does anybody have thoughts on this general idea? or maybe there are other good ideas that might improve the ATM forum to make it something other than a joint effort to defeat the OP which it most often is -- without any real effort being made to understand the concepts, possibilities, hypothesis, theory involved.

I agree. It's not just that many respondants fail to understand a concept. Many respondants make unfounded arguments, falacious arguments and don't even follow the rules here WRT misquotes misrepresentations etc. against ATM posters. The "defenders of the faith" are validated here and ATM posters are an enemy of the state. You can't even use the report function because if you post an ATM you are an enemy of the state. They don't moderate on their own against defenders of the faith but come down even if they have to fabricate charges against ATM posters. Lots of luck getting a moderator to take your side even in a blatent rule violation.
