My new rule of debate
I'm going to save myself a lot of time and effort by adopting this simple rule. If anybody makes a claim but fails to back it up with a source, I shall simply ignore it. I'm fed up of getting sucked into so-called debate with people who invent or exaggerate data, or make sweeping generalisations.
So "Most Xs are Y" will get ignored, "I read somewhere that most Xs are Y" will attract derision, whilst "60% of Xs are Ys and here's the source" will attract a reasoned debate.
I feel better already!Useful F1 Twitter thingy: http://goo.gl/6PO1u
