The Great GMO Legitimation Crisis

17. The truth is you employed the exact same tactic

...and to make maters worse, your tactic just wasn't based in reality as the "source" you pointed out was exactly the opposite of what you claimed.

Furthermore you claim a lie is the truth. I've read the source document that you are no doubt repeating 2nd or 3rd hand accounts, and each time the lie gets bigger.

Monsanto never claimed weeds won't develop resistance to roundup. They quoted numerous academics who claimed it was less likely than than the herbicides available at the time, which has been proven over time. Prior to Roundup there were 109 species of weeds which had developed tolerance to herbicides. The very best class of herbicides in use at the time were ineffective against half of those. Now compare that to roundup which has 20 species which have developed resistance over 40 years of use. Turns out Monsanto, or more accurately the academics they sourced, were spot on.

Here's the actual document in question which doesn't say what you think it says:
