- zarathustreal 2y agoI frankly don’t care what you believe, but I do care about the ability of the general population to understand reasoning and logic. To that end, please understand that what you’re arguing is not a counter-example like you seem to think it is. It’s an argumentum ad populum - you’re saying this must be true because elite cycling teams are doing it. This is not a proof. It’s not even evidence, you’re not even citing something specific enough to call it that. Again, believe what you want just make sure you understand that you’re not making a sound argument.
- iamacyborg 2y agoYou should probably look into the supplements I’m referring to before launching into a diatribe.
- zarathustreal 2y agoYou seem to think that would affect my statement. Pay attention to what I’m actually saying. I have no opinion on the supplement. It’s still invalid reasoning regardless of whether the supplement is effective.

- layla5alive 2y agoAlso, have you heard of Lance Armstrong? Do you think elite cycling teams worry more about health or performance? It's a sliding scale from no harm to performance benefits to death. Clearly they are intelligent and educated and those teams expend effort to stay to the left of death...
