It matters with respect to that person's credibility, but not in regards to the validity of the argument.
>For example, I'm not going to listen to your arguments about climate change if you aren't actively curbing your red meat consumption.
In other words, you don't listen to the likely majority of scientists?
You're confusing rationality with integrity.

You're talking about people who have devoted their lives to learning and explaining the world around us and not an armchair enthusiast worried about internet points? >You're confusing rationality with integrity. I really don't think I am, can you explain what you mean in more detail?
- class4behavior 6y ago>I'm all ears, what do you mean here? What is there to explain? My point is that it's very likely that the majority of scientists continue to happily eat meat, yet you've said you don't listen to such people. >I really don't think I am, can you explain what you mean in more detail? A person's credibility is only relevant if their personal experience is actually relevant to the soundness of their argument.
