The core BS of Warren is that she doesn't care about the law. This attack on Warren fits a pattern with some of your posts (not all). You attack some well known person for being ignorant on the topic at hand and then proceed to assert your superior knowledge without demonstrating it. Nor demonstrating, in any serious sense, that Warren (or others) are deficient. In addition, you sprinkle those assertions with lots of marginally relevant points and expect your interlocutor to respond via those. And, once again, assert both their relevance to the argument and their power based on your experience. Warren is not my first pick for the Dem presidential nomination but she's pointing to very serious monopoly issues in the tech industry. I would love to hear some serious analysis of her arguments but that will wait for some other forum.

That is simply not true about Ron. The only criticism I would ever level at Ron is that he is TOO POLITE-lo; and I wish he would speak out more. He is more intelligent, and more civilized, than almost anyone on SI and I have been here almost 20 years. <, As for Ron, like many people he cares more about "winning" than learning. I've never understood that. The win is temporary and shallow - the knowledge puts you right and stays with you. It's like the haydays of dot-bomb where some people would ferociously attack you if you pointed out their stock doesn't make any sense - the proper response would have been to be grateful for helping not lose their shirt in the market. I wonder how he did in his professional investing.
