It does matter because it means it's not a solution.
Never said it was. But if you want a solution NASA figured it out almost 3 quarters of a century ago. If the cooling solution is the thread that makes or breaks the concept sure you could justify being this irrational I guess or you could find the next better reason to be against data centers in space. Upto you.
lmao "when scientists and engineers figure out how to do it". You can't just engage in magical thinking and frame it as science, sorry.
I'm absolutely loving this interaction, but the person you're arguing with is probably 15 at most. And if not, I honestly feel sorry for them.

You can when it is a hypothetical to make your point.
...No, you can't, because then your point is "maybe one day, space magic will be real!" And that makes you sound like a lobotomite.
"Hypothetically, some magical bullshit could happen contrary to the known laws of physics (not to mention economics), and that would make me right. Bet you didn't think of that huh?"
Win every argument with this high-level lobotomite strategy!
You sound like you think you're making a point but you're kinda just saying nonsense in the face of this not being viable.
