Why is it worth reading if it’s such a bad article?
- hdjjhhvvhga 5y agoJust because of the points the interviewer fails to address or addresses poorly. I bet many of us witnessed similar discussions; here, the arguments of both sides are exposed and you can see their weak points. Some of these give me food for thought.
- WalterGR 5y agoIf the interviewer addresses the points so poorly, isn’t the article basically then just a straw man argument in favor of the interviewee’s side? If the subject is worth discussing, then it’s worth discussing a source with good arguments presented by each side.
- LurkingPenguin 5y agoPersonally, I think occasionally reading poorly-written/flawed articles is a good way to keep one's critical thinking skills (and BS detector) honed. If we only consume content that we believe is well-written and logically consistent if not persuasive, or that we agree with, I believe our critical thinking skills atrophy.
