Suppose someone came up with a stunningly effective plan for the world economy. It would solve hunger, empower women, raise the global standard of living, etc. but the plan was rejected on the basis that its author was left handed. I would need to examine the plan to know that left-handedness is a stupid reason for rejecting it.

That's not true. I did not off hand reject the blog posts' content because it was a blog post. You're free to disbelieve me, but I told you I went into their arguments with an open mind, and I found their arguments severely lacking, and they admitted to posting misinformation multiple times in their own blog post, which shows that they don't do their research first before posting, and I just admitted to you that yes, technically a blog poster that is posting WWE memes could perfectly debunk the Intercept article, and if they did that to my satisfaction, then I would no longer accept the Intercept article as accurate. Someone posting WWE memes and Pepe memes all day could cure cancer or solve world hunger like you said, sure. I concede to that. Most anything is possible, I suppose.
Since I’m free to disbelieve you, I’ll opt for that.
