I simply was impeaching your source. I wouldn’t want to wade into the feverswamp that is PCR’s “logic,” much less whatever is your current impression of the term.
I know exactly what you thought you were trying to do, it’s not exactly a secret.
Paul Craig Roberts is a major contributor to modern economic theory, a man who played a major role in supply side economics.
His writings on economics are important, but since what he has to say on free trade and international labor arbitrage doesn’t coincide with what you wish to believe, you were looking for a way to try to discredit him.
So you thought you could do that by using his crackpot conspiracy ideas about 9-11 to do it.
His crazy ideas about 9-11 would only be relevant if they were part of his economic writing, which they aren’t at all. He could believe that Hobbits are real, and that wouldn’t have any impact on his economic writing either. Well, except maybe to you and other fanboys of logical fallacies.
Trying to throw out Roberts’ economic writing by bringing up an unrelated kook belief is what a Genetic Fallacy is all about. It’s like tossing out the gold standard because Karl Marx happened to believe in it, which he did. Go figure.
