Suitguy is not bitter.
feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive
The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

I really don't know. When you say district all I can think of is red light district and that's not in Paris. I don't even remember the french words for mountain or hill to make a joke of it. Ummmm...Mount Oooh La La?

Oh, heck, after yesterday's dismal showing, I can't pass up this opportunity to improve my average.
Of course, if I get 'em all wrong, I disimprove my average. I'll take the chance.

This sounds like a geography Q to me, so I accrue no disgrace because of my dismal geography track record when I give an obviously incorrect answer because it's not a hill. I'll say the Left Bank just because it's the only Parisian district I can think of.
