re: #297 Killgore Trout
To me it does. They publish a lot of complete bullshit and I don’t bother to read their stuff anymore, just too dishonest.
We need to evaluate analysis on the basis of the analysis, with the source in the back of our minds as a possible explanation if we indeed find the analysis to be flawed.
With a few lunatic exceptions (e.g. white supremacists, etc), refusing to consider an analysis solely on the basis of its source is a practice that will do much to widen and harden the gaps between many of the opinions here and elsewhere.
