25. "People like Mark Roberts are simply really good at arguing."
Couldn't possibly be because he's right... nah.

> "Now that doesn't mean that what they say is logical. Most often it's more clever than logical. You might call it deceptively illogical."

That's a deceptively illogical argument. Deductive logic is usually considered to be either valid or invalid, and the standard way of determining which is by looking for fallacies. But for you...

> "It's boring and pointless as I'm not going to be deciding that the movement is a total sham."

... it's "pointless" since absolutely nothing can possibly convince you that you are wrong. Yep, such people have no use at all for logic.

> "The point is that I can tell the difference, very easily at this point, between someone who disagrees and someone who's here just to disagree."

That sorta sounds like "code talk." Can you tell the difference between people who actually care about what really happened on 9/11 and people who just want others to believe what they believe, whether or not it's the truth?
