Your attempt to look rational was nonsensical in the context of a valid complaint: there is nothing wrong with omitting or interpreting difficult information to a less technical audience.
As such, everything you _did_ say was strictly an attack on the man, rather than a valid discussion of his flaws as a scientist.
So, no, I don't think I will retract anything at this point. _I_ am not the one who needs to do that.
As for your attempt to coerce me into accepting your ad hominem, that is just another fallacy. You state that if I believe Sagan was accurate, then I am gullible. What you fail to do is offer any kind of proof!
So, are you going to continue your ad hominem argument against Sagan, or are you going to actually say something valid? |
