Attack the source as much as you like, it's not refuting the point in any way.
- ottah 8mo agoIsn't the validity and credibility of the source critical to it being supportive of your argument? Seems like a reasonable counter-argument in my opinion.
- mullingitover 8mo agoI provided a source, and so far all those who’ve disagreed have only provided opinions. No one has cited anything that contradicts my source, so I don’t think it’s reasonable to say that the validity and credibility of my source has been impeached. ‘I don’t like it’ is not a valid criticism of a source.
- ottah 8mo agoNo, you don't want criticism except on your own terms, but that's not the same as convincing people you are correct.
- Brian_K_White 8mo agoNot only the source, but the specific repoprting has been refuted already by others. So you have failed to present an argument, and then continued to fail to support it. So all you have done is express an opinion. Those are fine and allowed, but of no significance to anyone else.
