    Righto, get a lawyer to fly your plane 🤣 Qualifications and knowledge of science are obviously relative here

      Being a lawyer doesn’t preclude knowledge of science.

      You’re just wrong pal, be a man and take the loss.

        Obviously! I never said being a lawyer precludes knowledge of science. Your comment is a ludicrous straw man 😂

          If you recall, we are talking about what constitutes an ad hominem attack. Since being a lawyer does not preclude knowledge of science, pointing out that she is a lawyer constitutes an ad hominem attack.

          Let me know if you need that spelled out for you yet again.

            I never said she doesn’t know anything about science because she’s a lawyer. I’m saying that she’s not a scientist and she works for an anti pesticide organization. Both of those facts are important and not mentioned in the article. I never attacked her character.
