There was no assumption of bad faith, just pointing out a lack of logic and supporting evidence, and that we should take things with a grain of salt.
Appeals to emotion and innumeracy are serious problems in society right now and it's totally reasonable to identify when people pushing an argument are either appealing to emotion or being innumerate, so that others can plainly see that an argument lacks more substance than it appears to have.
- titzer 7y ago" just pointing out a lack of logic and supporting evidence, and that we should take things with a grain of salt." Given that I didn't see any specific plan of action or policy advocated in this article, I just don't see the need to jump out an immediately attack and discount it. People are so used to arguing in black and white, we suddenly have to start fighting over an article that reports on people's experiences doing a job that we all would agree, really, really sucks. Appeal to emotion, maybe. But krimeney, have some empathy.
