I had completely forgotten about the old “post 15” rule - the one where you make a statement and later cite the statement as a source of high credibility.

The point illustrated in post 15 was not to appeal to my own authority. It was pointing to a logical equivocation fallacy in the what seems to be the core argument made against waterboarding terrorists in my experience.

As I think the point I made there sound, and I think you have run afoul of that point, and being that it is accessible to all, I invite any who wish to take issue with it and show me a real error in my reasoning or understanding to do so.

Please understand, I see post 15 as making an extremely elementary point. So much so I look forward to seeing it challenged with bemused wonder, as if someone wanted to argue that 1 +1 = 3.

I don’t even know what you are talking about.

Other than you have a hankering to see the federal government torture some people.
