Just to be clear I added the quote because it is one of my favorite. I don't think MK is stupid. He seems very intelligent to me. Nor am I saying he is wrong either, just that he is definitely not dishonest.
Yeah, I gathered. And no, I don't think he's dishonest either... not willfully anyway. As I said I just see it as the effects of paranoia... but not as the be all and end all of him... ie it's a mode he seems to go into... and come out of... but just saying that while he is in that mode, I can't take his arguments seriously; as no-one can when someone or something relentlessly claims 'all x are y' when you're an x that's not a y. When he's not in that mode he can be very thoughtful.
