It would be nice if they actually provide an opinion on the content rather than getting hung up on irrelevant tangential nonsense.
If someone says 1+1=2, and later happens to say that other sources also agree, it is just asinine to say the person is ‘wrong’.

🤦♂️ I don’t really care about your assessment of my statement about consistency with (neither dependence on nor appeal to) mainstream scholarship. Whether my actual views are correct is not in any way dependant on how you assess my presentation of ancillary information. This isn’t a formal debate, and I broke no ‘rules’, and you’ve offered nothing at all regarding my actual views on the subject, so at this point you’re just a troll.
Perhaps that is the way you usually speak,
It’s not clear how your own use of an informal phrase is supposed to be some reflection on ‘how I speak’. 🤣

PioneerSchmioneer:
You can just skip what I said and offer a list of those scholars to the other guy and prove your original point.
🤦♂️. I thought there ‘weren’t any real experts’ and ‘appealing to scholarship is fallacious’. 🙄 But since I’ve done my own analysis of the primary sources, it hardly matters.
It seems that your irrelevant tangential rant about methodology is a reflection of some disagreement with one or more aspects of my views, but your reluctance to deal with actual content may belie some outlandish personal view of your own. Happy to be proved wrong.
Your posts generally seem quite cogent, so it may just be entrenchment in a particular style of academia that got you on your irrelevant tangent. In any case, quit the ad hominem nonsense and address content if you care to.

Your tangential and entirely speculative meta-analysis isn’t particularly helpful. Feel free to offer something in relation to the content.
I’m not remotely interested in your distortion of my comment that my views are consistent with mainstream scholarship, nor high-sounding sophistry amounting to ‘we can’t really know anything about anything’.

I do not assert that my views are correct because they are consistent with scholarship. I have committed no fallacy.
