Absolutely correct. But then I didn't claim it increased the evidence
for *my* position. I said that it dilutes *your* authority (and you
are an authority AFAICS), in particular when you are claiming that some
particular position of yours is "not extreme". And that's all I said.
N.B. "Extremism in the defense of freedom is no vice" -- and I
consider contributions to security technology and policy[1] defense of
freedom. OTOH, extreme policies still need to be justified by the facts.
Footnotes:
[1] in the narrow technical sense of "policy", as in "firewall
policy" -- obviously the "security policy" implemented by the border
patrol or whatever they're called these days is not a priori defense
of freedom.
