My point is not that it invalidates the argument (because I agree, the difference between 100% and 90-whatever% isn&#x27;t that important here) but simply that it indicates a lack of awareness about the very thing being discussed.<p>You&#x27;re right, reading the whole thing is the only way to know for sure. But time and attention are finite resources. We can&#x27;t actually read everything. When deciding what to read, I tend to lean heavily towards those things that get basic facts right, because they&#x27;re more likely to be in some way related to reality.
