If your argument is strong, there is no need to leave out context and inconvenient facts. To do so demonstrates the weakness of the argument and a lack of ethics.
@nhannahjones I would love to hang this on my high school composition classroom wall, especially as a bridge to discussing research and the ethos of a rational argument. Is this in context somewhere else that I might purchase in order to be more ethical in quoting?
@nhannahjones If the argument is that strong, would there even be any inconvenient facts? 🤔
@nhannahjones Correct. Would also toss in you don’t need to try and dismiss counter-arguments if your case is strong
@nhannahjones I’m surprised that there are people who disagree with this and also think this is about twitter arguments. Authors, scientists, politicians, and even family members can do this and gamble on you not knowing what they’re leaving out. That’s why peer reviews matter.
@nhannahjones People argue to convince others that they are correct even when they know they are wrong. Personal interests and convincing others taking precedence over the truth.
@nhannahjones Lol. You admit your writing isn’t historically accurate. Your argument is your argument is lacking. 🤦♂️
@nhannahjones You’re a professional at leaving out BOTH.
@nhannahjones Isn’t this what your 1619 Project does?
