      Well, that totally invalidates all the other examples, clearly.

      Dan, do you really think @AshaRangappa_ can’t come up with dozens of other examples? The whole point was to pick the most well known and furthest right folks.

      One, examples from 20+ years ago tell us nothing. Two, my experience with her does not argue for trusting her mere say-so.

      Dan, she was literally the director of admissions. Having actually interacted with her in person, trust me.

      She's also a hard-shell partisan, which raises all sorts of questions about the fairness of any process she oversaw.

      Uh, Dan. When I've made that argument about things you've *written* where I distrust your motives, you've been incensed. You're making that same argument with no evidence, based purely on the deduction that a partisan not of your party is therefore incapable of professionalism.

      I'm just saying that every experience I've had with her, she's been a dishonest, partisan hack. That makes me less likely to trust her word without supporting evidence.

      Her word wasn't the issue. You just argued that you doubt the fairness of any process at a law school she oversaw. That's a different thing.

          That's not really a reason, but for a guy upset about ad hominems and distrusting motives, there's a lot of that right here.

          It means we have nothing against which to empirically test the bland assurances of good faith.
