Concede one point, make another: that's not the way the arguments are being used.

''Admitting that 20% is ''possible'' means that you've destroyed your argument that it ''is'' more than 50%.'' You haven't read it, have you? Read it again, nice and slowly, take your time, and especially consider the Jupiter analogy. As for the vulgar abuse in your edit summary, I will let that speak for itself.

: Bugler, I will concede that point.  Instead I'll say that Andy's point that this was a response to was rather unclear as to its aim, and I was reading his comments differently.

: However, I will add another response to your previous post.  You say that "he whole point of the point at issue is that it disproves the blinkered dogmatism and naivety of Liberals who say "Oh, Obama has said he's a Christian so he can't possibly be a Moslem."  The problem with this claim of yours is that it's ''not'' the way the argument is being used.  That is, the arguments are not being used to ''oppose'' the claim that he couldn't possibly be a Muslim; the arguments are being used to ''support'' the claim that he ''is'' a Muslim.  If they were being used the way that you say, then at least some of them would have some legitimacy.  But being used the way they are is invalid.

It might be good to create a subarticle, with [[Barack Obama]] as the main article. We have templates for this; Philip is our template custodian and can place whatever we need.
