I said that? Really, fucking quote me. I want to see precisely where I said the big picture is not important. Now you are just putting words in my mouth to discredit my opinion. What is that called again?
Here's what you said...

Those unwilling to "parse sentences" are, to my mind, those unwilling to actually sort through the facts. It is easy to have a preconceived notion and a preference for the outcome. It is, again to my mind, very uncool to make wide-sweeping claims based on these notions and preferences and then refuse to acknowledge the details that really make up the entire scenario.
"Hey, who cares if the details don't match up? The governments is mean! That's the big picture and I'm sticking to it." Fuck that.
So I apologize since those were not your exact words. But the only conclusion we can draw from such a statement is that the "big picture" is not very important to you or at least not as important as the detail (whatever that means because it takes details to form the "big picture").
