I know what scarmig means: I believe Hal would resign before putting out falsehoods or a whitewash.
Also, I don't consider it "them" so much as "us". I may have been a mere cog, but still love the place 15 years later.
- jacquesm 14y ago> I believe Hal would resign before putting out falsehoods or a whitewash. I believe so too. But that particular example wasn't very good.
- btilly 14y agoThe point was that, no matter how apparently ridiculous the conclusion, scarmig would accept it without question because the source was that credible. The more exaggerated the hypothesized conclusion, the more strongly that point was made. I believe that scarmig's example very clearly stated his position. I would bet large sums of money that I do not actually have that the conclusion we get will nowhere near that ridiculous. I would bet reasonably large sums of money that Abelson will prove not corruptible on this issue.
