If josephcsible intentionally chose to lie about running a dog fighting club, that's really really bad.
I have as much evidence for my bad faith statement as you do for yours.
- josephcsible 5y agoI'm not saying that the CDC actually did lie in this case. I'm continuing the hypothetical from your previous comment, where you said that the CDC would be convinced by evidence piece #20, but then tell the public that they were convinced by evidence piece #21.
- VikingCoder 5y agoThey did not "then tell the public" that "the one that convinced them" was this one study. In communicating with the public, they happened to cite #21, because explaining all 21 would take too long and be confusing for you, and be distracting. Refuting the specific evidence in #21 does not directly refute the other 20, and does not make the conclusion "Junk Science" as the headline apparently unintentionally implied. And the headline had no business saying "The study," when they have no idea how many studies the CDC internally considered.
