By your logic, we shouldn't ever listen to any defectors, ever. That just doesn't make any sense.

  That's like saying, "by your logic, we should never cross the road, because we can't possibly look both ways enough times!"

    You're literally saying he shouldn't be listened to because he's a defector. You're not engaging with anything he said, just writing him off for being a defector. That is really stupid.

      And you're saying that we should listen to defectors, for no reason whatsoever. Or are you saying that we should listen to defectors, because they are defectors? In that case, how is that different from what you accuse me of? BTW, what I actually said is that we shouldn't blindly believe defectors, because there are compelling reasons for them to stretch the truth. See the difference? There are three ways we can treat a story: We can choose to believe it, we can ignore it, or we can choose to disbelieve it. You wouldn't believe my "pink bunny guns" example, would you? So you're already doing what I suggest, we just differ in degree.
