That's not what you said earlier.
"Let's put it this way: he could have done his science if he had done so in a more diplomatic way. This might have entailed more disclaimers or pretending that he was just thinking out loud."
And immediately after that I said "I agree that scientists shouldn't have to be skilled at diplomacy."
So you told a partial truth in order to misrepresent my views.
