re: #410 Obdicut
No, you’ve simply dodged the question. Given that he was one of the last of a long line, he can’t be an exception, nor was it a rule when he was appointed.
Sticking by your guns when you’re obviously wrong isn’t actually a virtue. It just makes you look foolish.
Some partisans pick their battles judiciously, and some just fight on every single issue, regardless of the merits. I think we see the latter here.
