re: #56 Killgore Trout
They usually pay more attention to claims that appear outrageous or blatantly false so the samples are a little skewed.
Well, but even then, Barton has obviously said far more than those four statements, and they’re almost all outrageous or blatantly false. So I don’t think that’s a good explanation for why they have an overall positive group of ratings for David Barton. Quite the opposite; you have to sort through a lot of Barton’s statements to find ones that are mostly true or even half true.
So no, I don’t think you’re right at all about that. Can you explain why, if they focus on the blatantly false and outrageous, they didn’t do so with Barton?
