    Let me put it this way: Straw man arguments won’t work here.

    edit: “A straw man fallacy (sometimes written as strawman) is the informal fallacy of refuting an argument different from the one actually under discussion, while not recognizing or acknowledging the distinction”

      It’s not really a strawman when I say providing unsubstantiated evidence as proof is not ethical and will be frowned upon.

        one is a licensed profession that is illegal to lie about and heavily prosecuted, the other is random people writing comments/posting videos on the internet. There is a world of difference.
