When "oops" just doesn't cut it.

Look man, you're far too intelligent to keep resorting to semantics, and I really don't know how many more times I can explain that comment without having to resort to picture drawing. So here is my last attempt.

I made no assertion as to whether or not the Pentagon does or does not tell lies to the public. I don't know either way, and I refuse to accept conspiracy theories or anecdotal evidence either way. I just don't know, and therefore don't lean either way.

My comment was meant to demonstrate that accepting something; an opinion, an argument, or whatever else, simply because there are some other people in the world who believe it is illogical. So there are lot's of people who believe that the Pentagon lies. So what. That doesn't make it true, it just means some people believe it. Making any argument with the statement that "There are lots of people out there who believe it, so it must be true," doesn't make sense, nor is it logical. That's my point.
