Your standards for a dinner time discussion among law students are awfully high.
Incidentally, the only poster here who has ever claimed to be a practicing attorney (afaik) was Brazil, from the prior thread.
So that's why I felt like he was cross-examining me in that thread. Mystery solved...
Well perhaps, fundamental attribution error and all that. Maybe he was just having a bad week or got defensive after we ganged up on him.
(Edit: but his global warming blog had the same kind of tone and approach)
Good point.
I belive that "choose what to believe based on evidence" is not too high a standard.
The law connection is that Grace is a law student, going to clerk for a judge. Since the comment was not about her correctness but about her treatment, it's reasonable to question whether the treatment was justified.
