Heh!

Quoting Vox:

Cargo Cult debate

"It is important to understand that if you're prone to demanding "peer reviewed pieces" or shouting "logical fallacy" at people with whom you are arguing, you're probably a midwit who doesn't really understand what you're talking about. In both these, and other similar cases, what we have is a person who has seen someone else win an argument successfully refuting another individual's argument by comparing scientific evidence or identifying a specific logical fallacy being committed, and trying to imitate them without understanding what the other person was actually doing."

It's almost like Vox has had a run in with Marxy or a reasonable facsimile thereof.
