Reply #76: Pointing out error is 'diversionary'? Ohhh-kay...

[friendly_iconoclast]

I understand your point of view. Wouldn't want the punters questioning the faith-promoting rumors they are given.
That might lead them to question other things they've been told. Can't have that, now can we?

What temerity, expecting accuracy of a guy who works in (and is published by) a university teaching hospital.
Whose job depends on accurate reporting of what he sees.

Answer me this:

Would you be so cavalier about the accuracy of what Wintermute presents as fact if this were his day job
and bungled a diagnosis of communicable disease?

Or would that also be diversionary?
