The messenger doesn't need to stand by his message
- 0xDEAFBEAD 2y agoTwo things can be true: The message is good, and the messenger is also hypocritical. Technically, there was no ad hominem fallacy. RcouF1uZ4gsC just argued that Khosla is a hypocrite.
- magical_spell 2y agoAgreed, but under a charitable interpretation. Under a less charitable one, RcouF1uZ4gsC was discrediting the message by using the messenger's ``ethos''.
