Reply #40: It's funny how your last argument is often how LITTLE you know

[1932]

You think that that gives your argument more weight?

I know that, rhetorically, the purpose is to signal to others who, as Alec Baldwin pointed out on the View, might not have time to get the facts that they too could have the same opinion as you based on a small set of essential "facts" (that are often held together merely with the logic of cliche).

However, don't you think the people who have taken the time to learn more than the basic facts might actually have more interesting and informed and weighty opinions than yours?

Are you sure that you want this to come down to an argument that you only know two or three things about Haiti?

Why do you have such firmly held opinions if you're always admitting you don't know much about the facts?
