Swyx (@swyx) argues on X that readers who do not immediately think of counterexamples to a post are not exercising free will or independent thought.

The post is a reply-style note about feed content, and it cites @bpodgursky's remark that labs crack esoteric math problems rather than ones that give commercial advantage. The report gives no data on how many readers fail to produce counterexamples, and it does not test the claim.
