    Yet again, “most likely answer” does not imply in any way that all oral history is made up. That’s simply a lie.

    I recognized nothing I said as inaccurate. That is another lie.

    Stop lying.

        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.
