Quote:If you are familiar with contradictions and consider the list to be of low quality then it should be easy for you to refute it. Put your money where your mouth is and then we can move on to the next list.I don't need to refute a list which you do not even understand. All you did was google it, you have no comprehension of the arguments and cannot separate inconsistencies from contradictions. There's also no justification for duplicating the same point over and over. Make your own arguments.

Quote:That's the best evidence you have of their reliability - that they could be telling the truth and all of them made mistakes about the specifics? That's not much.That's not what I said at all. What I said was that even if you had two or more people that you you know are telling the truth there will be inconsistencies between the statements they give you regarding an event, and that often they contain actual contradictions as well. That refutes your claim that inconsistencies mean that they're all liars.
Quote:Now who is accusing people of lying?You're just making assumptions. Anyone can see that, it'll never win you an argument and nor will it give you any credibility in a debate.

"That's disgusting. There were clean athletes out there that have had their whole careers ruined by people like Lance Armstrong who just bended thoughts to fit their circumstances. He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke
