Some of his comments deserve good answers/replies and the above he mentioned was 1 of them. I don't automatically argue with a persons comments. Their comments/post have to warrant it.
With EEF, most of the time you have to read between the lines to know if he's being genuine about his opinions, or if he's just trying to be contrary while simultaneously implying -- implicitly or explicitly -- that the rest of us are biased, haven't considered the "nuance", don't think objectively, or don't know enough to even have an opinion.
His condescension may not even be intentional, but it comes across that way in many posts just the same.
When you post your opinion based on the facts provided in an article or video, EEF posts that you can't rely on your opinion because there might be other facts not included in reports to consider. Captain. Obvious? or just oblivious?
That seems to be one of his M.O.s -- telling others they don't know enough to form an opinion, but he can't comprehension that he also can't produce opposing evidence to contradict your opinion. It's pointless and argumentative, nothing more.
I just read a bunch of facts on a particular car. My opinion is that's a car I'd like to own.
EEF-ism:
There might be recalls not included in the report you read. Also, there might be unsatisfied owners who haven't posted to any forums. The plant the car is made in might be in Mexico, too. Do you really want to support Mexican workers over American workers?Nothing he said is proven to be false, but neither has he looked deep enough to know either way. He just throws that crap on the wall to start arguments.
