Oh no, that dastardly word seemed is being ignored in my quote!

    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.
