Yes. Because while he makes persuasive arguments himself, I can't stand how frequently butchers the very psychological theory he's using to support his arguments.

Besides, he's like a wittier Paul Krugman; we always know which way he'll twist the argument. That's boring.

Meh. If 80% of presidential elections had larger margins, then either landslides are the overwhelming norm or it wasn't a landslide.

He got it right, but I would think that the "master persuader" would have been able to conjure WAY more than 46% of the vote, especially against a terrible candidate.

I can't figure you out. You fricking disagree with everyone, whether left or right.

You are either the most moderate person to ever live, or you're just an a-hole who likes to play devils advocate to every fricking position on earth.

What the frick do you believe in dude? Are you just a fricking troll who wants to disagree with every post you read?

WTF?

You're smart enough to realize that the credibility of Adam's arguments is independent of his credibility in trying to course correct our political destruction.

If he can affect outcomes positively under the guise of persuasion expert, the critique you're, quite possibly accurately, making becomes entirely misplaced in regards to Scott Adam's goal
