Yann, I know you mean well. I saw many people act like you just did in good faith, and get defensive when people pointed that this was not the proper response, until one day they stopped to listen and reflect and ultimately change their behaviour.

First, when someone gives you feedback, resist the urge to defend / explain yourself. See this explanation by @mekkaokereke : https://twitter.com/mekkaokereke/status/1268570520636669952
Note">https://twitter.com/mekkaoker... that this is true "even when the criticism is unfounded".

For instance, see how @JeffDean first got defensive ( https://twitter.com/JeffDean/status/1267219801417510912)">https://twitter.com/JeffDean/... before taking the time to reflect ( https://twitter.com/JeffDean/status/1268542647318261769)">https://twitter.com/JeffDean/... ?
See how @tdietterich first got defensive ( https://twitter.com/tdietterich/status/1275275733418438656)">https://twitter.com/tdietteri... before acknowledging the situation: ( https://twitter.com/tdietterich/status/1275278549075681281)">https://twitter.com/tdietteri... ?

Second, did you see that most of the replies to your first tweet asked you to learn more about the topic, even offering pointers?
Why did you reply by repeating what you thought was true, even after many *explicitly* told you that what you believed to be true was incorrect?

Third, you tell @timnitGebru that you "had hoped to learn something from this interaction" but did you watch the tutorials or read the papers that were pointed to you. What did you think of them?
Fourth, you asked to assume good intent ( https://twitter.com/ylecun/status/1275174556152586240),">https://twitter.com/ylecun/st... which is known to maintain the balance of power, which is clearly in your favor in this interactions: https://thebias.com/2017/09/26/how-good-intent-undermines-diversity-and-inclusion/">https://thebias.com/2017/09/2...
Fifth, you asked to not be emotional, which is tone policing ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tone_policing),">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tone... again known to maintain the balance of power. This also goes hand-in-hand with stereotypes about Black women ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angry_black_woman)">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angr...
Remember how combative you were when you tried to convince the field that NNs were the way to go and people were rehashing arguments that you had heard 100s of times and debunked years prior?
This is what happens here, but there& #39;s no ImageNet to convince you to change your mind.
