"You seem to be arguing that this methodology is seriously flawed." What nonsense. 

Just because Monica commented that the detection process was indirect, in no way warrants your gratuitous inference that she finds fault with the process. It took several rounds of her gently correcting your misunderstanding of her points; and when you finally got it, instead of saying thank you for her gentle guidance, you impute a non-existent intend for her initial remark!

More than enough evidence in this tiny exchange, methinks, to suspect that your drive to be argumentative is much stronger than your interest in understanding either facts or other people.
