    People who get excited by this have no idea how much actual DoD work costs to do. 2M/yr might pay for a team of about five to eight people to assist an analyst writing software. It’s not even a dingleberry compared to the scope of an actual DoD program.

    You’re just revealing your ignorance getting worked up about this stuff. I don’t need to resort to “reducto ad UFOium” to say you’re misinformed.

      revealing your ignorance getting worked up about this stuff

      Disagreeing with other people is fine, but I ask you to do it in a manner that doesn’t belittle people.

      Let me try:

      I don’t understand your point of view, you’re talking about DoD work and cost but the topic is seemingly non-DoD work. Could it be quite like what you put forth yourself; a couple of external people working on software, analysis, training and similar?

      Now I invite you to present arguments to why OP’s question is ignorance due to the “obviously too low price”. Maybe I’ll understand what you mean and end up supporting your argument?

      As a non-native English speaker, I also ask you to clarify how asking a question shows ignorance. From how I understand how words work, ignorance would be more like never asking questions.

      Can I interpret it as “Asking questions shows that you don’t know the answer”?
