Given your user name I feel you should read this WP:NOTDUMB, so far your argumetns have not been based upon policy, and no matter how good you are at debating its meaningless, we adhere to rules.Slatersteven (talk) 11:29, 2 February 2021 (UTC)

Isn’t it policy not to spread disinformation and to be as non-opinionated as possible ?

I don’t think of myself as a great debater. I just have a graduates degree in rhetoric which makes me able to determine, when something clearly is affected by opinion, and thus it requires some insight to see, wether or not that opinion is based on evidence. If that basis merely is an ‘expert’ stating his/her own opinion, that is where you rely on ethos more than you rely on logos, especially when that expert doesn’t provide a reason for the labeling.

This article shows a poor view of rhetoric as if its only use is to persuade, sort of a Gorgianic way. It is not. Rhetoric is also used to determine sound speech and unsound speech.

The fact that my username* served as an interpellation for you to send me this article, tells me that you too have this narrow mind on what rhetoric is, which makes the article useless to me because you clearly wasn’t as smart as I thought you were.
