Whoa, there. If you go back and read the prior posts, you'll find that JP slung the insults fast and hard, and that I was very restrained. Unfortunately, that seems to encourage people like him. They're like the bullies in the schoolyard; at some point, you've got to poke them in the eye.
You are stating your opinion as fact
Of course I do, as does everyone else. Alternately, we could wrap every sentence in 'IMHO', but that'd be a little tiresome. The author makes all sorts of similar statements.
As far as the causality, the point was that the article attempts to show such a causality, and fails. Lack of data or a coherent argument means there is no causality. Otherwise, I could state all sorts of nonsense as fact, and since no one could prove otherwise, it would be true.
For example: Bush causes hemorroids. Prove he doesn't.
See? Now, if you say that Bush doesn't cause hemorroids, no one questions your logic. But, using JP's logic, the above is perfectly valid. |
