I think this " That is to say if accepting the premises of the model explains its workings, then then model itself is valid..." is pretty much what I was talking about. I do think they assumed their conclusions, which were in turn their premises, and it IS a no no, but it was a model. I didn't say it was a model that made logical sense :-) I was just trying to be as fair as I could be about the model that the folks who supported going to war with Iraq had. Apparently I was so fair that you didn't understand what I was saying. Sorry about that.
