26. You put words in my mouth.

You created a belief for me, that is not mine, and then argued against it. That's BS.

Second, you are arguing for something that is wrongheaded, the evidence is vastly against you and getting larger every day. There is no excuse for pushing this scam on others. It's unethical, and that is being very kind.

Finally, since my failing to think through a specific word is about all you can offer to defend your nonsense, you might want to think about how you have no argument to offer, and maybe you should wonder why that is.
