That is an odd comparison. What does a statement about a fundamental law of physics which you can't change have to do with a statement about what you are doing, where you are perfectly free to do something else than you say? If that is what you base you judgment as "not a reasonable inference" on I'm truly worried. > >> sorry again, if we are speaking about the YYY, only metadata if >> recipient and sender are YYY citizens and if we believe what the >> agency says. > > I cannot accept this assertion, as it is offered without either > direct evidence or logically sound inferences. > You have not spend time understanding how YYY work it seems to me. How they communicate with the public. How they bend the truth, redefine the meaning of certain words when communicating. How to be over-specific in their denials. - From my understanding it is a perfectly valid inference to assume that the YYY stores also content data of communication. You can find evidence for that in congressional hearings, in Newspapers and so forth. But since the last years revelations and how they dealt with them, how they communicated in congressional hearings, don't seem to be evidence enough for you, I'm afraid no one will be able to help you see that the inferences are reasonable. At first you need to be willing to question their motives and their "truthfulness". Otherwise it doesn't make sense to argue about reasonable or non reasonable inferences. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iEYEAREKAAYFAlMm7gsACgkQ/6vdZgk46sipBgCgpCU6TjRXBFSU6HfWAJfoAo4s nwcAn0s7yQT6ZfYBXX1VClQ/0J9+2VCL =nTSx -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
