<<<If one repeatedly mentions a fondness for Bill Clinton, for example, would it not be accurate to conclude as distasteful "such things as truth, justice, human values?" >>> That is a helpful, clarifying post, imo. It would be fair comment to say "I conclude from Mary's admiration of Bill Clinton that she has a distaste for such things as truth... etc." It would be a lie if you came on and wrote, "Mary has repeatedly mentioned her distaste for such things as truth... etc." (Unless of course she had done that.)

Another example: It would be fair for me to write, "I conclude that JLA does not place a high priority on the state's keeping its long arm out of the bedrooms and uteruses of its female citizens,"... but unfair, and a lie, for me to write, "JLA has repeatedly mentioned that he doesn't care how much control the state seizes in its drive to micro-manage the lives, bodies, and religious beliefs of its citizens, especially if the citizen-slaves are to be female." And any friend of Mary's who claimed the two were equivalent would be either stupid or an equivocator.
