The claims he makes are quite simple, even if they appear difficult to counter.
Your carefully constructed hypotheticals in reference to your opinion of Le Carre genius, certitude, or dismissing of Administration opinion are, you must admit, your own, and irrelevent to the facts and declarations which are, after all, the basis of true argument.
To discuss those, isn't it a simple matter of taking one or more disagreeable ones and answering? That's what usually passes for normal discourse (not on yahoo threads, but that's another story)
In the face of a failing proposition, obfuscation is a commong tactic, tho' not one that leads to clarity, but the opposite. I hope I haven't been unclear. I certainly don't think Le Carre was. |
