A factual article would lay out the facts, and be done with it and not endlessly badmouth individuals whom I don't care around.

This is not Twitter. You're making an objective, factual claim. I don't care about all these randos. They have nothing to do with this claim.

I waded through a great deal of that article and summarized it - "Bitcoin consumes energy that would be wasted anyway". But there was no proof of that.

I welcome your better summary explaining why my summary is wrong or incomplete.

There's no obligation on me to read your gossip column articles. If you can't tell a science article from drivel, it's not up to me to read your drivel and tell you why it's not a science article. (HINT: science articles don't spent the first 300 words with the author talking about himself.)
