I didn't deny your argument, I accepted it. I merely pointed out that your argument lead to the same conclusion as my argument except that it provided even more certainty.
On the other hand, this comment is an ad hominem attack trying to categorize me as an irrational conspiracy theorist in the hope that readers would dismiss the logic in my comments.
- GavinMcG 5y agoYes, that is precisely the hallmark I was pointing out: when you were right, that proved your conclusion. But when you were wrong, that provided even more certainty. That "logic" is irrational.
- cryptica 5y agoYou just made a bad argument. You focused on a flaw in my argument to try to discredit me as an expert (which I'm not and never claimed to be, I welcome the correction) but in doing so you made my argument stronger. I can't believe I have to spell it out TBH. The fact is that Fauci had managed to put himself in a position to control the narrative and also the COVID19 response at a national level. Whether he did it by securing an official position or he simply jumped into the limelight on his own initiative is completely immaterial to my argument. The conclusion is the same; it is very suspicious when someone who is secretly associated with a problem wants to control the narrative around the problem once that problem becomes of public interest.
