Yet again, "most likely answer" does not imply in any way that all oral history is made up. That's simply a lie.

I recognized nothing I said as inaccurate. That is another lie.

Stop lying.

I didn't say it did! I said that you're overly discounting oral history.

[–] FlyingSquid 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

That is another lie. You said I assumed it was all made up.

This is what you said:

I didn’t say that oral history is 100% accurate. I said it’s more accurate than you assume, which based on what you said seemed to be “it’s all made up.”

Absolutely nothing I said indicated that all oral history was made up, as I demonstrated by quoting it.

Just tell the truth for one fucking post.

Oh no, that dastardly word seemed is being ignored in my quote!

[–] FlyingSquid -1 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

Sort of like those dastardly words "most likely" which is what your "seemed" was linked to?

Because I doubt you're so stupid that you think "most likely" means "every other possibility is wrong."

Again, what I said:

I’m thinking, since it wasn’t written down until centuries after it supposedly happened, that the most likely answer is that it was just bullshit.

What you said:

I didn’t say that oral history is 100% accurate. I said it’s more accurate than you assume, which based on what you said seemed to be “it’s all made up.”

Actually all my comments were peer reviewed by a liguist with experience in oral histories and they said my statements were accurate and clear, and that yours were definitely discounting oral history as a whole with your statement. I'll not be commenting any more as you seem fixed on a bad faith argument.

Wow. Virtually every comment you made had at least one lie and you have the temerity to say that.
