What's the over/under on number of weeks before he posts "Testimony is Evidence V: The Final Bullshit Argument?"
Sorry, I've been busy building a deck. Working hard, but good days, and didn't feel like coming here (and ruining it with the negativity).
Is there something that you would like to discuss more?
I could see where we could discuss the studies or reasons that are being used to say that witness testimony are unreliable and therefore not good evidence. We could go into what the studies actually say, and their impact on the discussion.
Or we could discuss how I think that you are inconsistent in your views and that I wouldn't be allowed to dismiss evidence, just because it comes as testimony from another. As well as those who are arguing that their personal experience is too unreliable in which to base a belief.

Do you think that was based on good testimony?
