@Sheril exactly.

Information is given like poor algebra.

A+B=X

We will be given one fact, and then told a conclusion

@Sheril and some, before they are stated, should be prefaced with "and now we will hear from XXX who we all know is a horrible liar so none of his bullshit should be taken seriously"

@Sheril yes, that. And also, everyone has the freedom of expression and every freedom comes with responsibilities. Expression is ant act and every act has consequences, therefore expressions should be judged not only by their truthfulness but also by their impact on ourselves or others.
