    To clarify, I believe the report. And I also agree with Diogenes when he suggests that the "mural" was something innocuous that was misinterpreted in the panic of the day.

    I explained earlier that there was no indication of panic ... It suits your theory to dismiss the Mural but is not a valid one

    So you change your original stance on the report? ...

    However you seem to be conveniently leaving out the part where the report says that the van did not explode.... but okay...

    Where did i conveniently leave out that part ?? ...

    It is in the MTI report i posted ... I left it in your quote when replying

    So please point out where i left it out conveniently so i can correct that

    There is 3 km between the locations

    And Barclay ....there was also a command post set up at pier 92 I think
    That's why the timeline is important

    Because they had a headquarter on Barclay street as well, I missed the one on 6th in the report (still 3km away from 6th and king) Care to explain that ?
    The whole point with the command centre's is that neither one was close to 6th and king

    Nope there is quite a large distance between the command post in the report and 6th and king .. that leaves the room for a 2 (maybe more) Van scenario
    How do you Explain 1 Van being at possibly two places ?
    So it's impossible that they, when writing the report though that because both the van and the command centre were both on 6th, they were closer they they actually were?
    In fact 6th and King is quite close to Barclay, perhaps that's what they were referring to?

    Is the only possible explanation for this discrepancy to invent and entirely new van from thin air?
    weisses wrote: »
    No ...possibly, .. and probably the one on 6th and king ??
    So you believe that the one van in the report (ie. "near the command centre") did not explode, but that there was another on 6th and King that did explode?
    Is that correct?
    weisses wrote: »

    So there's not possible way that what was on the van could have been misinterpreted? I'm not dismissing it, I'm offering a sane explanation for it, in accordance to the report you posted.
    The report said that it was an innocent delivery van.
    Or was this van painted differently to the van that you think exploded?

    I have not changed my stance on the report.

    Because if you are choosing to believe the report, then you cannot use it to support the theory that a van exploded because it claims otherwise.

    Im sorry you appear to be jumping up and down excitedly going OMG ITS A OFFICIAL REPORT!

    It's by the College of Business of San Jose State University? Why should I take everything in it as gospel truth?
    Actually it's by the Minetta institute who were founded and are funded by Congress and the statements are made by Norman Minetta a Bush Cabinet appointee and part of the Executive Branch of the US Government during 9/11 itself and at the release of the report.

    For the most part. I believe the comments about van "painted with the plane crashing into the WTC could easily be a mistake and it was a van with a mural ofplane that was flying over the NY skyline, and in the confusion and excitement it was misconstrued as a plane flying into the WTC.

    It's a much more plausible explanation.

    Proportion of all known reports that say mural was of a plane crashing into New York: 100%

    Proportion of all known reports that say mural was a "plane that was flying over the NY skyline": 0%

    You've somehow convinced yourself that the
    0% is "much more plausible".

    Why???????
    Hardly skepticism is it?

    So then the media not reporting, say, the gaming convention I recently attended is the result of me obtaining a media blackout?

    Or is it the fact that the media doesn't report non-stories?
    For example a false alarm bomb scare?
    Firstly, you don't seem to know what a "false bomb scare" is. It is a bomb threat/warning, the "false" making it an empty threat warning.

    Nevertheless, I've already had a needlessly long, drawn out conversation about that which is self-evident i.e. that running from the Police is an indication of wrongdoing. We really shouldn't need the US Supreme Court to tell us, as they did that it is. It's common sense territory as is the current object of our conversation. Again all it takes is common sense to realise that a van with people from the "Middle East" that has a mural painted on it of a plane diving into the WTC is stopped by the NYPD in New York on the day of 9-11, it's passengers make a run for it, are caught, then arrested, the area is evacuated, the bomb squad, medics and the entire NY City Taskforce are summoned to the scene is newsworthy.

    Even all this is accepting (which I don't) that the NYPD Police officer that seen their van explode suddenly became temporarily insane and the van didn't explode.

    Incidentally, this is Robert Sandford, the guy who made the Police Radio recording with a little background information.

    Robt-ggb.jpg

    Robert (above), on his side of the Golden Gate Bridge. Below is the WB6NYC Shack.

    RobtShack.jpg
    http://www.fenichel.com/RobtShack.jpg

    [FONT=Arial, Helvetica][FONT=arial, Arial, Helvetica]Robert Sanford - WB6NYC

    Robert Sanford went about his life as he usually does. 11th September started off early for Robert - about 6.00 am, but who cares...... Robert is an Amateur radio enthusiast (as I am) and when he learned about the events unfolding in New York Robert was on the case immediately.

    During the next few hours Robert recorded some of the most amazing audio that he had ever had to listen to - and probably some of the saddest content. Events on 11th September are known to most people on Earth, but when you actually listen to the audio recordings that Robert captured it WILL change your view of the whole thing known as Incident 0727.

    Here's some info about Robert in his own words:

    After some 20 years in New York City I have decided to "get the hell out of Dodge" and make the nice quiet town of Sausalito my new "home town". I was the Emergency Coordinator for ARES, the Radio Officer for RACES and the SKYWARN Coordinator for New York City.

    More pointless pedantry.
    Bomb scares can come from authorities misinterpreting reports and innocuous things without the need for someone to make a threat. Including shutting down roads and calling in emergency services.

    Nevertheless, I've already had a needlessly long, drawn out conversation about that which is self-evident i.e. that running from the Police is an indication of wrongdoing. We really shouldn't need the US Supreme Court to tell us, as they did that it is. It's common sense territory as is the current object of our conversation.
    It is common sense stuff, that you are twisting and misrepresenting to suit your ends.
    Running does not make people guilty of anything other than running from the police. This would not even guarantee a charge of resisting arrest.

    Furthermore we can't even conclude that they did run in the first place.
    Other possibilities remain such as the police officer misspeaking, or misinterpreting what they had done.
    Again all it takes is common sense to realise that a van with people from the "Middle East" that has a mural painted on it of a plane diving into the WTC is stopped by the NYPD in New York on the day of 9-11, it's passengers make a run for it, are caught, then arrested, the area is evacuated, the bomb squad, medics and the entire NY City Taskforce are summoned to the scene is newsworthy.
    Where are you getting the idea that the area was evacuated?

    And which of this is inconsistent with a false bomb scare?
    Even all this is accepting (which I don't) that the NYPD Police officer that seen their van explode suddenly became temporarily insane and the van didn't explode.
    And we're not accepting that's what the officer reported.
    There's no other evidence of any sort to support that there was an explosion at all.

    So before I actually discuss the recording (since it's clear you are incapable of honestly answering the question I asked.), have you any other evidence to support the idea that a van exploded beyond that recording?

    You make no sense. Running away from Police is an obvious case of resisting arrest and is a crime in NY.
    RESISTING ARREST
    A Misdemeanor
    PENAL LAW 205.30
    (Committed on or after Sept. 1, 1980)

    Under our law, a person is guilty of Resisting Arrest when he
    or she intentionally prevents or attempts to prevent a police officer

    Yes we can. The Police Officer on the scene has said so. Minneta doesn't mention it at all and there is absolutely zero evidence to suggest otherwise.

    This is absolutely ridiculous.

    Possibility A:The Police Officer said the passengers fled when what he meant to say was they waited patiently in their car???? That's absurd.

    Possibility B: The Police Officer thought he saw the passengers take flight but it turns out they were actually waiting patiently in their van???? Equally absurd.

    If you were listening to a game on the radio would you not accept the final score of the game until fans who'd been at the game rang into BBC Radio?

    No, but the Police radio transmission is significant and stands by itself.have you any evidence that the van didn't explode and was returned to it's owners?

    ======================================================

    I said I'd get back to the "Boston Bomb scare", now why did that get a ton of coverage, all media outlets seemed to have reported heavily on it and this "bomb scare" got absolutely nothing, ever?

    Pedantry and a strawman.

    It doesn't.

    Possibility B: The Police Officer thought he saw the passengers take flight but it turns out they were actually waiting patiently in their van???? Equally absurd.
    And again, more strawmen.

    One of many many possibilities is that the pair of suspects left the van and turned and moved away form the police officer, failing to notice or hear him, which he then misinterpreted as an attempt to flee.

    Or perhaps the cop's car was parked a good bit away and when they left the van and he had to run after them to get them to stop?

    But then this is all pretty irrelevant as them running does not prove their guilt.
    Minetta says so.
    I didn't see that on my last read. It does indeed say that they evacuated the area.
    What other evidence is neccessary? You have a live, on the scene commentary by professionals.
    But that's not a given I'm afraid. I would like to see pictures of the van before and after, other witnesses to the van, the arrests and the explosion... Basically more that one source.
    No, but the Police radio transmission is significant and stands by itself.have you any evidence that the van didn't explode and was returned to it's owners?
    Yes, the Minetta report.

    So just to be sure, the only actual source you have that the van exploded was the record featured in the earlier video.
    You have nothing else to confirm that happened?
    I said I'd get back to the "Boston Bomb scare", now why did that get a ton of coverage, all media outlets seemed to have reported heavily on it and this "bomb scare" got absolutely nothing, ever?
    Because there might have been a bigger story that a false alarm bomb scare on 9/11?

    And I do like how you totally avoided the point I made with that link.

    I've already posted an example of the police mistaking something clearly innocuous for a bomb and taking it seriously enough to call out the bomb squad, shut down streets and make arrests. And this is without the extra stress and panic of actual terrorist attacks occurring.

    So people mistaking something for a mural during this time to confusion, panic and stress is impossible?
    weisses wrote: »

    And there's not pictures of it's wreckage or it's damage despite exploding in the middle of the street on a day when thousands of people had their cameras out and the police getting people out of thier homes while they deal with it.
    Yet there's not a single photo.
    Not a single report beyond the transmission that BB posted.
    Not one civilian witness.
    And no witnesses at all who said that the van exploded.

    It is strange, almost like no van actually exploded at all.

    And the cops still have to charge you with it and then you have to be convicted of it. And neither of those are guaranteed.
    Therefore by that logic the witness testimony of "all people" is worthless due to their fallibility. Which is as nonsensical as it sounds.
    Another strawman. However since all witness testimony is fallible, in the absence of supporting evidence their testimony cannot be reliable.

    It's possible that the police officer was wrong or misreported something.
    So there are explanations that explain the facts without relying on a massive conspiracy that you can't even provide a ration explanation for.
    Absolutely ridiculous.

    Equally ridiculous.
    Why are they ridiculous?
    Why is either impossible?
    It's not irrelevant as it is "clearly" a strong indicator of wrongdoing.
    Well assuming we do live in the dystopia world you apparently want us to and the running is a valid reason for being shot, how does running prove that they had explosives? It could just be indicative of them being "guilty" of something else?
    Well that's impossible due to the media blackout and investigations like the 9-11 Commission wilfully ignoring it. Where's Popular Mechanics when you need them?
    But it would also be impossible if the explosion never actually happened, wouldn't it?
    Internal communications from the Police Officers in the line of duty and on the scene describing the van exploding is ample evidence which you also wilfully ignore.
    But here's the thing BB, I'm not ignoring it. I was just making sure that it was worth my time addressing.

    But since you actually are still ignoring my original point, I'm still somewhat doubtful.

    So since your only evidence at all is the recording could you indicate which point of the video proves that the van exploded?
    Like building 7 falling while it was still standing? This is part of the 9.11 story and is an undeniably a newsworthy story. Don't let that stop you though.
    Why? You only think it's a newsworthy story because you want it to be a part of a conspiracy. (What conspiracy and how it fits you are incapable of explaining...)
    But unfortunately a false bomb scare on a random street was not news on the day.

    Because you don't seem to grasp the concept that the report is saying the exact opposite of what Brown Bomber is saying.
    The report does not support the idea that any van exploded. The report does not supply evidence for a conspiracy or cast doubt on the official story.
    If anything is a non-point it's you bringing up the report.

    How can this be?
    Why can a similar but much less silly cock up not happen in New York on 9/11.

    I don't think that the timeline is important as it would have little effect on my explanations.
    However if you think it is important, why not provide it and show how it excludes my explanations.
    But I think you either know that such a timeline wouldn't have an effect on my explanation, not could you actually put one together, hence why you are trying to deflect the point.

    And is it a possibility that there was no exploding van at all?

    No it doesn't ... I said that where the Van was pulled over .. NEARBY the command center is miles away from 6th and King so maybe there could be another Van, not saying it is true but leaving the possibility open, the fact that it is not in the report doesn't mean it didn't happen

    This is not an answer to my question or my point.

    You said that the authors of the report couldn't have mistakenly believed that the van was closer to the command centre than it was, ot that they believed that 3km was "close".

    Yours is, so the onus is on you to provide the timeline as it is the only thing you have to suggest there was two van.

    All the other evidence and common sense points to there only being one van and that van not exploding as per the report that you provided.

    You have spent the last few pages inventing imaginary vans so you can say there might have been an explosion.

    The van and the command centre were both on 6th. Someone unfamiliar with New York might have believed that this means that they were very close as I did before looking it up.

    And even then I would consider 3 km or less than a five minute drive to be "close".

    So please explain why either of these explanations are impossible or ridiculous specifically.

    I can see why it might be crucial for your explanation seeing as it would be the only thing to support the existence of the imaginary second van.

    However my explanation is not dependant on the timeline. I do not require a timeline to support my explanation.

    So I see no need to find the timeline just as I see no need to go make your points for you.

    So the Boston example shows that it can and does happen, regardless of how obviously non-threatening something is.

    And of course even though you are claiming that my explanations are ridiculous and unlikely, you've failed to actually provide a solid consistent alternative which is not ridiculous or likely by your standards.

    Again they could have mistakenly believed that the command centre being on 6th and the van being on 6th meant that they were very nearby.

    Well first off you, the video and the report use a lot a different descriptions of the so called mural. So far it's been "A plane flying towards the twin towers" and "A plane flying towards New York" then there's also "the plane flying in.." and the "plane exploding over..."
    None of that seems very consistent and all points to the fact that this "mural" was pretty open to interruption.
    But then my example shows that the police finding this threatening does not prove anything, because the police also found images of a cartoon character made out of lite-brites "threatening."
    The police make mistakes like that.
    you can ignore that fact if you like.

    Ok, but that's not an answer to my question. What part did these vans play in the conspiracy? Why were they painted in murals that attracted attention and gave the game away? What were they targeting that required a bomb that according to BB wouldn't have done any damage?
    And the thousand other questions that claiming that the van are part of the conspiracy seems to beg.

    Again you plug your ears and pretend that my explanation doesn't make sense or is unlikely. But no one has actually been able to show any sane or rational alternative that shows the conspiracy.

    Again they could have mistakenly believed that the command centre being on 6th and the van being on 6th meant that they were very nearby.
    Or they could have considered 3 km "close". What your opinion of that their opinion should be does not take away form the fact that it is subjective.
    So so please precisiely why these two explanations are impossible or unlikely.

    I believe the report, i think it is common sense that 3 km in Manhattan is not nearby, again your opinion against mine, please don/t think in behalf of the makers of the report ...it makes your claim less and less believable...

    There was also nothing suspicious about that ryder truck in Oklahoma city and we all know the outcome of that

    But you are "thinking in behalf of the makers of the report". You are saying they meant a a different truck. You are saying that they could not have possibly meant what I am suggesting that they could have meant.
    I've suggested a pair of plausible explanations. Your alternative is a a second van for which there is no evidence for and presupposes a vast conspiracy.
    You have not been able to suggest why my explanations are wrong or implausible you have just stated they are and refused to support your argument.
    weisses wrote: »

    And neither do I as I do not think it is important.

    So now that you have not got the time table you have nothing at all to support the idea of a second van, besides your opinion of someone else's opinion.

    Like perhaps the police misidentifying something innocuous as a serious threat?
    Like maybe a completely innocuous advertising thing with a picture of a cartoon character made out of a children's toy?

    So it happened then, why can't it happen on 9/11?

    And then what is the scenario you are suggesting that explains why there were these mural trucks in the first place?
    Can you provide the same thing you are asking me for, complete with evidence/proof?

    And since you believe the claims of the report, do you believe that the truck was "an innocent delivery truck"?
    Because you seem to be trying to suggest that it's a part of the conspiracy, counter to the claims of the report.

    So you're banning me from using examples for other situations while then using your own when it suits you.

    And what exactly is the point you're trying to make here?
    Do you think that I am suggesting that the police should not have checked the mural truck?

    Well I have done so several times.
    I am suggesting that the police mistook what was painted on the van as a "mural" of the attacks.

    I am using my example (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007_Boston_bomb_scare) to show that the police can and do mistake innocuous items (such as the items in my example) as something threatening.
    Hence my example is an example of what I am claiming could possibly and likely did happen.
    Hence it is relevant.

    I do not know if Weisses's example is relevant or not because I do not know what point he is attempting to make, that's why I asked him.
    Nearest I can guess is that he is trying to suggest that I am claiming that the police never get it right or that something that looks innocent could be dangerous.
    The first I am not claiming and is therefore not relevant, the second is irrelevant because I have not claimed otherwise and we are not discussing something the police regarded as "innocent".

    So again, why is my example not relevant and why is Weisses's?

    it is relevant if your point is that police misclassifying devices, or more generally, police make mistakes.

    But the thing is, the police in my example were looking at the "devices" clearly and could still see that they had a cartoon character on them, yet they were still treated as dangerous and they declared them as such.

    So it's likely that the same thing happened in the 9/11 example.
    They either saw a van with something that could have been mistaken as the claimed mural, or heard second hand reports of the mural, and treating it as suspicious and dangerous.

    the cartoon character was not what made them think they were dangerous, the electronics and circuit boards visible were what resulted in them being classified as dangerous.

    similarly the reason the vans are suspicious, were not the murals alone, but the fact of who was driving them and what was happening that day.

    And at no point did I ever argue that the police were not justified in stopping and searching the van.

    But in both cases they clearly misidentified what they saw, showing that the police can misidentify what they say and take these things seriously on very flimsy basis.
    So the police reporting a "mural" does not necessarily mean it actually was a mural when there are much more plausible explanations.

    what about the buildings that the plane flew into? just because the police reported that planes flew into buildings, as you claim with your example, does not necessarily mean it actually happened, when there are much more plausible explanations.

    does that show you the fallacy in your example and the argument you are using to apply it in this context?

    It would, if it was a comparable example, but it is not.
    With the planes we have 100's of hours of video, 1000's of photos, multiple eyewitnesses confirming the exact same thing independently, the resulting damage and found wreckage and human remains positively identifying the exact planes that crashed.

    Now had the example you are now using been applicable to what I'm actually saying, we would have no photos or video, no wreckage, no damage and a bare handful of witnesses who all give different and contradictory statements.
    Now if a police officer claimed that he saw a plane hit, and all of that stuff applied, would you believe him? Or would you look for a more plausible answer?

    And it's the same here. There's no photo or video showing the mural (let alone any evidence that the van exploded) and everyone gave conflicting reports of the mural. And then the idea of a van having a mural does not make a lick of sense, no one has been able to offer even a stupid sounding conspiracy explanation for the van let alone a a sane rational one.

    So the most likely explanation from the verifiable evidence is that the van was an innocent deliver truck that had either a logo or an advertisement on it that was misconstrued by the police (or someone reporting it to the police) to be depicting an attack. The police then acted as they would when faced with something they determine is suspicious even though it really wasn't, exactly like in the Boston example I posted.

    I've been reading through all of this, and the only thing I can conclude is that King Mob is a Zionist troll who tends to obfuscate. As for the Dancing Israelis being Mossad, it was established early on in the investigation - the 2nd and 4th video on this page go over that - it was also mentioned in the Jewish Daily Forward very early on. As for the above linked blog being "biased" - well, that does not change the fact of the FBI report, which is viewable outside of said blog. It looks like this poster, KM, is the biased one.

    now regarding the van exploding, that is different to the mural, so it is not relevant in this argument, though the van clearly did not explode and kill the police men as they managed to report seeing the mural.

    can you show the statistical spread of the conflicting reports? you do realise that being humans, there will always be a degree of error and a degree of difference in interpretation of images.

    and what sane reason do you need for the mural? they painted a mural to celebrate their mission? they thought it would be funny to drive around town in the van distracting police?

    Yes other information to show how it has much more evidence to support what had happened compared to the example of the van.
    And then I argue that this evidence is what distinguishes them.
    For the van you have a scant few witnesses all saying the mural was of different things. No video, no photos, nothing.

    But it does. I have an example of the police misidentifying something and treating it as suspicious when it was just an advertising campaign.
    I believe that the van was an example of the police misidentifying some and treating it as suspicious when it was just a logo or a piece of advertising on an innocent delivery truck.
    And since you cannot show how this is impossible or unlikely and you are unable to provide a sane, rational alternative explanation that is supported by anything, my explanation is most likely the case.

    But you are "thinking in behalf of the makers of the report". You are saying they meant a a different truck. You are saying that they could not have possibly meant what I am suggesting that they could have meant.
    I've suggested a pair of plausible explanations. Your alternative is a a second van for which there is no evidence for and presupposes a vast conspiracy.
    You have not been able to suggest why my explanations are wrong or implausible you have just stated they are and refused to support your argument.

    Again i believe the report if you don't explain/proof why and leave out your suggestion/maybe's and could have's this time

    So now that you have not got the time table you have nothing at all to support the idea of a second van, besides your opinion of someone else's opinion.

    Like you have nothing that debunks the report

    Like perhaps the police misidentifying something innocuous as a serious threat?

    No that is not what the report says ....

    So it happened then, why can't it happen on 9/11?

    And then what is the scenario you are suggesting that explains why there were these mural trucks in the first place?
    Can you provide the same thing you are asking me for, complete with evidence/proof?

    And since you believe the claims of the report, do you believe that the truck was "an innocent delivery truck"?
    Because you seem to be trying to suggest that it's a part of the conspiracy, counter to the claims of the report.

    So you're banning me from using examples for other situations while then using your own when it suits you.

    No i don't need to proof anything besides the second Van .. again A timeline could even rule that out (same van driving up to 6th and king later) ...

    You on the other hand need to backup your claims from the parts you don't believe from the report

    And you bringing up Wikipedia links to make your claim is not evidence/proof now is it

    And there's another strawman.


    And another.

    No they are not in the same league. But hundreds of people describing the same thing that is backed up with video, photo and physical evidence is much much stronger than a handful of conflicting witness reports none of which are supported by any other evidence.


    Again, we've the resulting damage and wreckage that could have only been a plane. And of course all of the dozens of witnesses all confirming it was a plane.


    Yes other information to show how it has much more evidence to support what had happened compared to the example of the van.
    And then I argue that this evidence is what distinguishes them.
    For the van you have a scant few witnesses all saying the mural was of different things. No video, no photos, nothing.


    Lol, that's clearly fake.
    And so we come to the point were you have to suppose vast conspiracies to support your idea, making your story implausible.

    Yes, I do realise that. It's pretty much the point I'm making.
    And since this is the cause, do you believe that this makes it possible that some people could interpret an innocent non-threatening image or logo etc as depicting the attack?

    Really? Those are the sanest reasons you can come up with?
    Cause they don't actually sound sane at all.
    Maybe I can't admit they exist, because they don't.


    Well seeing as you've not provide a single, sane, coherent alternative the confidence is pretty high.

    You keep using these terms, but I don't see why as none of them are actually applicable to a discussion.
    It's almost as if you are using them like technobabble to sound clever.


    Unfortunately I do understand logic, above is pedantry however.
    If you prefer to focus on that, point can be written as:
    "The police then acted as they would when faced with something they determine is suspicious even though it in fact was innocent, exactly like in the Boston example I posted"
    This is the point I was making, please address that, not strawmen, or grammar or what you think "logic" is.

    But it does. I have an example of the police misidentifying something and treating it as suspicious when it was just an advertising campaign.

    You can write down whatever you want and keep dodging questions with your straw man tactic but

    Again where is proof/evidence that the report is wrong ?

    Why exactly should I leave out "maybe and could"? Should I just declare what they believed even though I can't actually know?
    Or should I just stick to suggesting what is the most likely explanation.

    Do you know what the report does not say? That there were two vans with murals.
    That's you doing all the things you are trying to tell me not to do or accusing me of doing.
    You are claiming something that's not in the report. You are using "coulds and maybes".

    That's great, so post the timeline if you can and want.

    Why are you continuing to bring this up. I'm not going to find a timeline I don't believe I can find in the first place. Nor do I need to find it to support my arguments.

    You however do need to the find it to support yours. Until you do your argument is unsupported. I believe it will remain so as I think the timeline cannot be found.

    Then you are either using a strawman or you simply did not understand the point I was making.
    My example shows that the police and misidentify something, take it as a serious threat, but later discover it was totally harmless. Which is what I'm arguing happened to the van. And that's what the report says.

    So finally you agree that the mural with the planes crashing into the WTC as mentioned in the report is accurate .... sigh

    slow down there bud, i don't think you understand what a straw-man argument is to be honest. and claiming that my interpretation of your bad point is an dishonest strawman is unfounded.

    they are not strawman arguments, they are your broken logic applied to other examples.

    facts in real life make it implausible.

    i will now counter your argument that you are in fact wrong because "people make mistakes" ... :)

    i now agree, you should be banned from making/giving examples ...
