If the average citizen lacks sufficient "credentials" by your standards to doubt and criticize your claims, then by the same logic the average citizen lacks the credentials to accept and agree with your claims.

So, why are you making them to average citizens? Make them to a board of "qualified" people, if it's so above all our heads that we are "unqualified" to critique it.

Oh, wait... we're only unqualified if we disagree with you. I see.

*sigh*

You can't defend your claims without resorting to avoidance techniques, trying to get yourself out of the spotlight and put it on me. No. You're the one making the wild-ass claims. If you can't stand up to criticism, that's your weakness. The burden of proof is upon you, not those who see through you.

You made the claim in a public forum. Deal with the consequences.

"Don't believe the disinfo people!", cries the source of the disinformation. Sheesh, what manipulative bullshit. Do you work for a marketing agency by day?
