"Some folks saying..."

 

There is another angle to this inquiry of yours.

 

It seems to me that your post implies that Jed is skewing the reporting of
the facts as he perceives those facts, but you're trying to give the
impression to everyone that you are being impartial. It also seems to me
that you are trying to put Jed on the defensive. A baiting tactic.

 

I remember someone who recently gave a radio interview where the interviewer
titled his broadcast with a specific phrase that certain CF researchers had
"lied" about their data. When the interviewer got around to asking his guest
about this accusation the interviewee replied that he personally did not say
that certain CF researchers had lied, but then he followed up with the
comment that listeners should draw their own conclusion.

 

I remember talking to a lawyer about that conversation because the
interviewee's response had deeply disturbed me. I wanted the lawyer's
professional opinion on what had transpired. Have you heard of the term
"weasel worded?"

 

IMHO, it would have been more honorable if you had simply stated your
current personal opinion on the matter and then ask for clarification -
because you realize the possibility that you might have come to an incorrect
conclusion.

 

Of course, I'm assuming you do occasionally consider the possibility that
you might be wrong. But then I could be wrong on that matter.
