This is the tactic that the MIW pappies have been using for ages.
They will make a vague statement that sounds convincing, important and final, but when you really start to examine the details, you end up with more questions. But just because a person with a certain "stature" and "endorsed" by certain other persons said it, it must be correct and accepted.
However, don't blame TCJ for this, he certainly didn't start this. He merely acquired the trait. Someone else started it and has been using this tactic for YEARS.............................
