That’s not making the argument any less terrifying. You see that, right?

  I mean it does make the argument less terrifying because it makes you seem less believable. When you are sloppy in your reasoning, you become less convincing since people will start to doubt the veracity of your other conclusions, even the ones unaffected by the slopiness, since if you are willing to be misleading on one point, why would you stop there? The scariness of your argument depends entirely on how accurate it is. If you start playing fast and loose with accuracy it might be scary the way a horror movie is, but you lose the actual scariness. [Which to be clear, is not to say the reality of the situation is not scary. Car pollution (in all its forms) is scary. I'm just saying the only reason i find it scary is due to things from outside this thread. This argument by itself is not scary]
