You packed two bits of ad hominem misinformation into one sentence there, bravo! He once used a pseudonym like so many of us on this forum still do, but has gone by Tony Heller for many years now. And he wasn't an electrical engineer, he was a microchip verification engineer who worked at IBM.
Now do you have anything to say about the actual data, which is what's interesting here?
- wizofaus 3y agoDescribing somebody as an electrical engineer and noting that he goes by a second name that readers may be more familiar with is an ad hominem? If the "data" is genuinely interesting then I'm happy to leave it to the experts to analyse it.
- revelio 3y agoNeither claim is correct, both are intended to denigrate him (an electrical engineer is someone who does electrics for buildings or grids, not someone who works on CPU design and you know it). And they're both about the author of one of the links, not about the actual subject in question, which is pretty much the definition of ad hominem. > If the "data" is genuinely interesting then I'm happy to leave it to the experts to analyse it. The "data" is the government's own data and if you delegate to people who have a clear profit motive to exaggerate/lie about what it says, and a track record of doing so, then you're going to continue to believe things that aren't true. In which case you should let the rest of us get on with actual analysis and debate instead of trying to kick up mud about the people doing it.
