Precisely, the conclusion is correct but the argument was flawed.
Comment on Why are there so many conspiracy theories regarding soy beans?
metapod@lemm.ee 9 months agoTo say something is good merely because it has been consumed for a long period. Very often people use terrible argument and reach the right conclusion by chance.

Except it’s not chance dude. Soy is one of the richest and cheapest sources of protein.

I agree with you, but we should not compromise logic just to confirm what we believe.

Just add what you want to say as if we were having a normal conversation. Do you talk to people you know like this? So fucking exhausting dude.

You should not dismiss the guy/gal that said liquor has been around for a long time. That is a valid observation and a counter example to your argument, so it positively contributes to the discussion. Try to think about what makes beer different in that it is also part of society but is proven to cause harm, and come out with a different, stronger argument. A person that points out the flaw of your argument is not necessarily your enemy, and may still agree with you after all. Yes. I’m like that in real life.
