Reply #44: Disingenuous extrapolation at its worst. [View All]

Disingenuous Not straightforward or candid; insincere or calculating:
Extrapolation. To infer or estimate by extention.

Disingenuous extrapolation- Insincere projection calculated to cast motive or message in worst possible light.
Regardless of absence of any justification in doing so.


In each of your prior posts the same Disingenuous extrapolation-
41#“…if not to give the impression that what Catholic priests have done isn't really that bad?”
43#“… if not to give the impression that what Catholic priests have done isn't really that bad”

The >ONLY< thing that can be understood/inferred from the OPs post/survey is contained in the thread title- ‘Priests abuse children at same rate as everyone else’

That’s NOT- “what Catholic priests have done isn't really that bad”

>NOTHING LIKE IT<
>NO SUGGESTION OF ANYTHING LIKE IT<

To identify via statistical survey that priests aberrant behaviour is “at same rate as everyone else” DOES NOT in any way, shape, manner or form condone, excuse, apologise for or imply that it is >ok< or “not really that bad”.

To project such baseless “impression” is a disgusting and unnecessary distortion.
Completely without foundation.
A disingenuous extrapolation.
