Of course this is taking a stance. By mocking the assumed contents of the memo this post, in essence, is a straw-man attack on the memo and its author that doesn't intellectually engage with either.
- confounded 9y agoIt is quite funny though (which I believe is the point).
- Veedrac 9y agoI can't work out how this could be a strawman though; the arguments it gives are far _stronger_ than the original. The only indication that it might be satire is that it's funny, and that's hardly a sufficient argument.
- tcbawo 9y agoMaybe not a straw man, but rather an attempt to frame the question in a way that is less likely to cause people to be angry or defensive. It doesn't seem to take a side, but rather encourage further debate.
