    That is another lie. You said I assumed it was all made up.

    This is what you said:

    I didn’t say that oral history is 100% accurate. I said it’s more accurate than you assume, which based on what you said seemed to be “it’s all made up.”

    Absolutely nothing I said indicated that all oral history was made up, as I demonstrated by quoting it.

    Just tell the truth for one fucking post.

        Sort of like those dastardly words “most likely” which is what your “seemed” was linked to?

        Because I doubt you’re so stupid that you think “most likely” means “every other possibility is wrong.”

        Again, what I said:

        I’m thinking, since it wasn’t written down until centuries after it supposedly happened, that the most likely answer is that it was just bullshit.

        What you said:

        I didn’t say that oral history is 100% accurate. I said it’s more accurate than you assume, which based on what you said seemed to be “it’s all made up.”

          Actually all my comments were peer reviewed by a liguist with experience in oral histories and they said my statements were accurate and clear, and that yours were definitely discounting oral history as a whole with your statement. I’ll not be commenting any more as you seem fixed on a bad faith argument.

            Wow. Virtually every comment you made had at least one lie and you have the temerity to say that.
