Given that y’all allowed Caledonian to succeed in derailing the conversation, I’m surprised that none of you pointed out that Caledonian’s original ‘objection’ - “It’s not logically necessary for ducks’ and robins’ disease transmissions to be symmetrical!”—was explicitly pointed out by me in the original text. Did you reread the original article? Or did you unwittingly take Caledonian’s word for what I had or had not said, assuming that if he attacked me at point X, I must be there defending at point X?
Anyway, if you allow Caledonian to derail another thread, I will withdraw my lone objection (among the Overcoming Bias editors) to banning him. You’re not doing him any favor by responding to his trolls.
