You have repeatedly misrepresented my point of view on this issue.

How so?

Are you making up words to put in my mouth because you think I'm doing that to you?

This conversation is compressed in time, just a few hours, so it's easy to see I never said anything remotely denying any historical bio attacks. In fact, I explicitly acknowledged them. In the face of that, how can you baldly assert otherwise? Why would you assert otherwise? I posited the strawman strategy as an excuse. That was the most charitable interpretation I could think of. I typically twist myself in knots to avoid calling anyone a liar so I settled on the strawman tactic, which at least gave you credit for being able to read.

If you think I'm misinterpreting something, why confuse the issue with some trip down the garden path? Why not just point out the misinterpretation and correct it? That's how people gain understanding. That is the objective, isn't it?
