No. It's just a false claim. False claims aren't conspiracy theories.

It's prioritize*, and prioritization only matters when there's a tradeoff. I'm not sacrificing truth to point out your mistake.

You are wasting 100% of your effort on arguing semantics instead of engaging with my actual argument, sounds like a tradeoff to me. And no, it's not a mistake, don't know where you got that idea from.
- brucephillips 9y ago> Are you saying that conspiracy theories are all true? (A -/-> B) does not mean that (B -> !A) When arguments devolve into basic logical errors, there's little hope in finding a resolution, which you're obviously not after anyway. > You are wasting 100% of your effort on arguing semantics instead of engaging with my actual argument. You're so intent on picking a fight that you don't realize I agreed with your actual argument above. Happy trolling.
