You keep putting words in my mouth that I've never said.

It really does grow wearisome.

Just in your last post alone, here are some of the things I have never said, which you seem to attribute to me.

1) That I want you to believe that that there wasn't some sort of struggle
2) That none of the flights had any violence or take-over threats/situation
3) That 3 of the 4 take-overs didn't hit a confrontational situation


I have never said any of those things that you attribute to me. Just as I have never said a whole bunch of other things that you seem to attribute to me in prior posts.

And yes, I do say you're asking the wrong questions because it appears to me that you are starting from a preconceived viewpoint and considering only the things that might potentially support your preconceived notions instead of starting from a neutral viewpoint and considering all of the evidence and following it wherever it leads. This is, sadly, a far too common mistake that is made by conspiracy theorists.

It's called tunnel vision.

It's understandable at a certain level that conspiracy theorists make the same mistakes, particularly since the same mistake is made over and over again by those who should know better (i.e. police officers who are presumed to be able conduct investigations properly), but that's no excuse for buying into it.

Tunnel vision has led to numerous wrongful convictions of innocent people. That's reason enough not to employ the same tactic here.

(I could go on and on about the extent to which tunnel vision has resulted in wrongful convictions and wrongful executions but that's for another thread. The point here is that the exact same tunnel vision ought not be used by conspiracy theorists to try to support unsupportable premises, but that's what the vast majority of the CT sites do.)


4) "But I am afraid we will have to agree to disagree until the official story comes out. (if ever)"

Sure. I'm okay with that.

5) "Peace"

That's something we can agree on without reservation. Peace.

Cheers,
Jazz.
