You're just being obstinate and not even addressing the points I brought up— just vaguely poking at the premises. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russell%27s_tea

I have better things to do.
- ifyoubuildit 5y agoI know what a straw man is, but you just naming the term doesn't constitute an argument. Maybe a more clever person than myself could have intuited what you believed was an example of one, but I couldn't. Russell's teapot is a new one to me. It seems you're position (correct me if I've misunderstood, or don't since you don't seem interested in the conversation anymore) that since we don't have definitive proof that we can't trust these third parties, it's wrong to distrust them. I'm too paranoid to buy that. If I can't verify, then I don't trust. Good luck with your better things.
