The GP saw a chance to denigrate someone, took it, and when others questioned the motivations behind the denigration, he or she retreated to some kind of weird psuedo-objectivity.
>Inferentially speaking, this remark says more about you than the data point does about the accused

Happy to stand by the original claim that the specific data point quoted was meaningless and everything that flows from that about the quality of judgment for those believing it was, in contrast, definitive of guilt. “Nothing more” refers to consideration of any other evidence. As for “retreating into objectivity” I’d say I was far from it when subsequently upping the emotional ante with the descriptor of a “braying lynch mob”, which is how I really feel about the peanut gallery. Luke 6:37 applies recursively to all of us.
