Then you can consider the answer to my question if you like, appreciate that I took the time to respond to you despite me muting you for previous trolling and consider if you want to reply in a productive way.

Why are you accusing me of trolling?
Aside from the previous threads where you were derailing things (which you explained was because you were angry at me from months ago), the last comment that I saw from you on the rockdust thread simply said 'you sit on your computer' - after I put a fair bit of time into replying to you, so I muted you. I have now re-read the comment and it has been edited, with more text added. I scanned through the link you provided and there is a ton to say about the subject, but I don't have time at the moment. It is a complicated scientific topic of enquiry and it has been a while since I looked at the evidence, I just know that my own experiments, the examples provided by numerous trusted people and various published scientific sources on the food soil web have confirmed for me personally that rockdust is an essential addition for soil health. I didn't see much in the way of studies linked in the page you provided, but I did see refutation of claims about Rockdust that I have never even seen made by anyone and also lots of books for sale by the author of the page.
Considering I am not selling rockdust and have no connection to anyone that is, it can't be said realistically that I am selling anything, least of all snake oil. I will try to find time to get back to that comment at some point.
FYI, In general I deal with evidence as much as possible because I don't want to waste my time going down dead ends or writing posts that get trashed due to a lack of evidence. If people challenge me then I will look for evidence or explain how we might acquire the evidence that is missing - it's just a scientific/logical approach. When people don't meet me on that level and throw around accusations I get turned off from the conversation quickly.
But you do sit on your computer.
The original shortform of your reply, in context, was an insult in that when I said I go by evidence you appeared to be inferring that I have no experience other than from using a computer. I do spend a lot of time on computers, yes, it's my job - I have also previously spent a lot of time growing food and studying the subject too.
Publishing 'farmers are clueless' as if it's fact is somewhat insulting. Did you forget to research that part?
Since you don't even think that rockdust does what I am clear it does do, you won't agree about the cluelessness. I mean that they are clueless about what I am talking about - which you appear to be backing up by sharing the link you shared that proports no value in rockdust - I and many others disagree. Even the tropical garden center I went to in Australia only recommended rockdust to feed certain types of trees. The claim that rockdust is of no value is not something I can agree with. If you think this and think that what I think is plane wrong, to the point where you say I am a snake oil salesman, despite me not even selling anything - then I'm sure you can understand how you are demonstrating the cluelessness from my POV.
I think you should slowdown on the rockdust.
