Because most are exercises in partisan point scoring. Rare to see a take that offers the entire set of claims. Typically those who affirm 3-5 do so more aggressively, and reject 1-2 outright. Those who hold 1-2 tend to wave away 3-5.
Seems like a major indictment of commentators that the only take you can find that isn’t blindingly partisan is one you identify as 40% misleading.
I didn’t say it’s the “only take.” I used words like “most” and “rare,” indicating that measured takes do exist. The reason I called this the best summary, with key modifications, is that it (nearly) includes the entire set of relevant conclusions.
The point isn’t necessarily that, for each claim, he gives the best version of it that can be found. It’s that he brings together 1-2 with 3-5, whereas the overwhelming majority of takes I’ve seen affirm one or the other subset and entirely dismiss the opposite one.
