In the “evidence is optional” world, logic is also optional.

So smuggling a conclusion into the premise of the argument is “good reasoning”.

So is its close cousin, the fallacy of the complex question. And basically every other form of bad logic.

Once you realize that these wizards are immune to reason it pays to enjoy them for their entertainment value. Count the logical fallacies and take a drink every time that you spot one. Good luck staying sober.

Your post here is full of accusations but has nothing connecting it to what I said.

All you’re saying to me is essentially “Your idea is wrong because my favorite establishment scholars have told us it’s wrong.”

I’m simply proposing that maybe the question of whether Hebrews populated Britain could be examined by other than sycophants of the establishment.

A fearful response to my proposal would be expected to bring personal attack. A confident response to it would address the topic objectively. Yours has been the former.
