Dan, I appreciate the engagement but you’re wrong to conclude it didn’t affect the outcome because it’s unknowable

We're obviously not going to reach agreement on this, but I'm a lawyer. I live in the world of evidence and law. Yes, some things can't be traced. A fox in the snow may not leave visible tracks. But an elephant will.

Facts aren't arrogant, they're facts. Declining to believe things that cannot be proven by evidence - or even shown to be sufficiently likely to be true by evidence - is not arrogance, it's reason.

"My client did not cause the plaintiff's damages" is a defense in virtually any civil lawsuit, even when the defendant committed some legal violation. It's foundational to Anglo-American law.

I argued & won plenty of cases, some involving billions of dollars or constitutional issues. I would not recommend you get into a credentials-&-accomplishments contest. Stick to the facts. 1st rule of a lawsuit is the plaintiff lays out their case for causation. You haven't.

Nah, I laid it all out. I’ve done the research and you haven’t, which is why you’re posting other people’s work and not your own. And no one cares that you’re a lawyer

Touting one's professional credentials over another during a debate is tantamount to a man at the gym walking over to a stranger and bragging he has a higher max bench press weight.

I never start arguments on this basis. I just refuse to let people pull it on me when they really shouldn't.
