    He claims this is for trolls, but that's a ruse.

    Some people come up with rationalizations for everything. It's easier to
    construct a convenient pseudo-argument than to change one's way of thinking.
    So rationalizations are a form of laziness. It's not unlike the laziness of
    a thief who plots and plots all day to figure out how to steal something.

    But even rationalizations take mental effort to invent. This "AutoPlonk
    idea" is merely Thomas's idea for avoiding even that effort. It'd be like a
    thief who's sick of plotting and instead tries to get a computer program to
    do the plotting for him at the click of a button. It's really an
    AutoRationalization idea.
