        It’s a classic “Accuse them of what you’re doing”-tactic. It’s meant to make conscientious people stop and examine what is considered a baseless critique from the beginning, essentially disrupting the conversation. In game theory, the accuser has nothing to lose but a lot to gain by using this tool, while you have little to gain and a lot to lose. Play in the mud with the pigs at your own risk.
