As for not being 100% accurate in my reference to your job - I can't see how that makes me "look silly". I'm in the ballpark enough to know that you're not medically qualified. That is all that is relevant. I'm quite sure you are one of the best at whatever it is that you do, but whatever it is, you're still not a doctor or a dietician.
"All (I've) done is posted ad-hominem and arguments from authority". Yeah... Authorities on the subject!!
I'm not egotistical or arrogant enough to think I can publicly call the evidence of two experts in the field "bollocks" when I'm just a computer engineer searching the internet.
Also chips are "Plant-based" no matter how you cook them.
Why do you prefer name-calling to discussion?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_from_authority
Essentially you are saying that if an expert says something about their own field, they are unquestionably correct (and shouldn't even be challenged), even if strong, verifiable evidence exists that their statement is incorrect.
This is also odd as you've frequently disagreed with experts in the past, on matters that lie within their field of expertise. Why the shift now?
In any case, if you can show that what I've posted is incorrect please do so. The numbers are all there for you to check. See if you can do it without any name-calling - direct or indirect.

Point out where I was incorrect in what I posted.
I'm not interested in the numbers you are posting or your attempts to engage me in your layman's attack on the evidence of experts. Why ? - because I'm not qualified to make anything other than an uneducated half-assed fist at it - but - at least I'm aware of that.
We may as well argue the pro's and con's of various neutron moderators in nuclear power generation or the safest way to concrete a roof - subjects I'm quite confident neither of us know jack shit about. Neither you nor I have the education, experience or qualifications to sensibly critique the statements made by experts in the field of medicine and nutrition, nuclear power generation or concrete technology.
I trust that what they are telling me is correct based on my faith in them as experts and the fact that them taking part in a TV programme and talking "utter bollocks" to camera - a programme that would likely be seen by their peers - would be professional suicide for them.
I wouldn't dream of assuming I know better than them. You however, appear to not have such reservations.

K - I - S - S - I - N - G!"
For you to suggest that I don't know what I'm talking about here is unspeakably arrogant on your part, especially given that you freely admit to being entirely ignorant on the subject. How, then, are you qualified to judge what I've posted? By your own argument you are not.
It's not reciprocated I'm afraid.
And I don’t like bagels.
How's that tally with your stance here, where you've maintained that it's arrogant and egotistical (your own words) to question those better qualified than you are?
To bring it vaguely back on track I had takeaway pizza and hot wings yesterday, and will be having the leftovers of said pizza today.
As far as cutting out carbs completely goes, you can't do it. "Fat burns in a carbohydrate flame", look the Krebs cycle, you need pyruvate (sourced from carbs) to form the oxaloacetate required to oxidise acetyl co A (sourced from fat).
You can get away with a small amount of carbs but you can't do without completely.
This is why when you're doing an endurance sport like distance running or cycling you can run a long distance in the "fat burning zone" by taking small amounts of carbs regularly. The carbs "unlock" the fat burning potential (long after you've run out of glycogen/"hit the wall").
There's some evidence that the Atkins/ketogenic diet actually works as a calorie controlled diet, you simply eat fewer calories as you can't face eating any more dry protein.
I think what I meant (but didn't actually write) is that you can cut out all the bread and pasta type carbs, not literally all carbohydrate.
1. I prefaced my comment with the statement that I am not an expert (therefore all that follows is at best conjecture). You made no such disclaimer and went for the "(They're talking) Utter Bollocks". One shows an acceptance that I may be wrong, the other is an emphatic statement that you are right and they are wrong.
2. Read my post again. I did not say the garage had "done it wrong". I asked the OP IF he knew if they had done a leak test. Big difference. I was questioning what had happened.
Nice try at the straw man though.

I explained why they were wrong, did I not? You have failed to demonstrate that my workings-out were incorrect, instead you've just insisted over and over that I am not fit to even dare to post such workings-out. By removing all of my reasoning and reducing my post to two words you are demonstrating incredible arrogance and hypocrisy.
I posted verifiable facts - please either point out where I was wrong or admit that you were just going for a cheap dig that has utterly backfired.
I'd also point out that your attempt to drag this argument into the interview thread is completely classless.
