Hm. Not sure if you are accusing me and/or David of generating "fake news" or not. Truisms positioned to cast deniable doubt on a nearby statement[1] are one stock in trade of those who really DO attack the truth. By using such a device, you risk being considered such a person. To avoid that risk, you might consider pointing out errors and untruths specifically and explicitly. Regards, K. [1] Happy to explain this device further if needed. I've left the "juxtaposed statement", i.e. the quote you were apparently responding to, below, so people can see what I mean.
