      Facts don't matter when it comes to persuasion. We just want them to matter.

      Sure. And we all ought to be billionaires who can fly by flapping our arms. Neither will happen.

      No, we may WANT to be flying billionaires. That's very different from a statement of "ought." Does this mean you believe presidents should operate amorally?

      You understand there is a giant chasm of difference between "ought" and "want," right? One implies a moral imperative. @ScottAdamsSays was being disingenuous by using flying billionaires as a comparison. CN was guilty of straw manning via uncharitable interpretation. Take note!

      You've missed the part of the discussion where Scott shows you "when facts matter". To wit - Fact: a bus just ran you over. That matters. All the rest is just verbal jockeying.pic.twitter.com/amKNdyND0D

      The irony is that you're addressing a caricature of what I think and what I'm arguing. The problem with privileging persuasion over good faith argument is that you sacrifice logical coherence and intellectual honesty in the process.

      I hear that George "Bowtie Boy" Will is a good faith argumentator. He stopped persuading a decade or two ago, unfortunately...

      You don't seem to think the moral implications are of any consequence, and that was my initial point to @ScottAdamsSays: you are effectively arguing that Presidents should be amoral and that it's naïve to demand some standard of coherence.

      No one argues for immorality. Everyone argues for comparing total costs to total benefits. Now I'm going to block you for acting like that didn't end the debate.
