Does it not? I must be weird then.
There's a reason we do a criminal record check before letting ppl work with children.Why we learn who to trust

So you are actually not just talking abt descriptive things, but abt normative things—ie we *shld* do those checks.

I don't think I can have been clearer. And I still do not care enough to argue further. Please stop now.

This is an illusion. The reason we shld infer risk is that such past behaviour is good evidence of a mechanism.
@calciferion -
so if someone lies and smears people repeatedly is that proof of a mech for them to lie and smear in future?
-
That’s a fair q; there are pathological liars who’ll do that in *any* situation. But for most, it’s selective.
@HPluckrose -
sure, we all selectively lie at times. But he has a professional description to tell the truth.
-
and he lies repeatedly in this capacity. When we have many others to choose in the profession why wast time
-
Well, he doesn’t really talk abt SH as a journalist much (on Twitter). He wrote one piece, IIRC. A bad piece, TBF.
@HPluckrose -
he talks about him literally all the time on Twitter, that boundary is pretty blurred at this point
-
Well, let’s say, pretty often. You may well have a point, but as critical as I am of him, I’ll cut him some slack there.
